ultimate extras sounds problem with explorer.exe

I just installed the new update for the Ultimate Extra Sounds Schemes. When I
have one of these new schemes selected as my sounds, when I shut down or
reboot my pc, I see a brief black screen with red text and something about
explorer.exe not respoding or something. It happens with either of these new
sound schemes Glass, or Pearl. When I put if back to default, problem goes
away.

Nice extra MSFT!

Anyone else with this problem?

Not with my computer...the extras work fine.

Carey,

Is there a log or something that I can look at to determine what might be
causing this brief screen to display? My suspicion is that the new logout
sounds are taking a bit longer to complete than the normal one, so it's
hanging the explorer.exe service from closing.

Have you installed the latest audio drivers?

I just noticed I have the exact same problem with my computer, went back to
default sound scheme, everything's normal and yes I have all the latest
drivers.

Message when you try to shut down or to restart Windows Vista: "The following
programs are still running: Explorer.exe Playing logoff sound"

If it's a Vista sound scheme, why doesn't Microsoft program it so it works
for the OS they designed it for? No 3rd party vendor to blame on this one.
Even Microsoft doesn't understand Vista.

Carey,

Yes, I have the latest drivers, I saw your pointer to the FAQ, as well as
Mark's response.

1. "I just noticed I have the exact same problem with my computer, went back
to
default sound scheme, everything's normal and yes I have all the latest
drivers"
2. "why doesn't Microsoft program it so it works
for the OS they designed it for? No 3rd party vendor to blame on this one.
Even Microsoft doesn't understand Vista"

HEAR HEAR!!!

What a waste of time troubleshooting a stupid sound scheme update...

Thanks for the extra MSFT!

Are you using the "long" shutdown sound? Which one is your exact shutdown
sound?

Which "shutdown" sound are you using? The long sound may be more
interesting, but you'll have to ignore that message because the clip is too
long for the Vista Quick Shutdown feature.

This is exactly why the "long" sound is not the default.

If you're hitting this with the short sound, I'd love to know more.
