If your Start up sound play properly on your start up then there is
something loading that is changing that. It sounds like you still have some
Magic Jack settings Loading.
Do you know how to use msconfig to look for something that is starting up
that relates to Magic Jack or look for something that refers to some kind of
tiger drive. Magic Jack also creates a couple of drive letters in XP that
look like CD Drives and a Removable Drive both being USB Drives. I dont have
XP anymore and Magic Jack works different in Win7 so this is the best I
can remember.
