vaio notebook boot problem

Jan 10, 2005 12:48PM PST

My vaio PCG-GRX 520 notebook is running windows XP. Each time I start windows a boot animation comes first with an annoying sound. How to stop the animation or atleast get rid of the sound. I will be glad if anyone helps me in fixing this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hit F-2 on boot. This will take you into BIOS setup. Go to advanced and set vaio logo motion to "no". Now you will just get a standard Vaio splash screen with no sound or motion.
