What does one do to get that tone at the begginning of
startup? Mine went awy and I miss it! Bob Gould

I would try rebuilding the desktop and zapping the PRAM settings.

Rebuild the desktop:
	At startup, hold down the Apple/Command and the Option keys together 
until you see a dialogue window asking whether you want to rebuild the 
desktop file. Click yes and allow the machine to complete the rebuild.

Zap the PRAM:
	At startup, hold down the Apple/Command, the Option, the "P", and the 
"R" keys together until you hear the startup chime at least three 
times. Release the keys and allow the machine to complete the startup 
procedure.


OOPS, almost forgot!

Remove any headphones from the machine. Having headphones inserted 
disables the machine's speaker.
