There's a BootSkin tutorial here http://www.wstaylor.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2177#2177

And there's a link to a helper program in this thread..  https://www.wincustomize.com/browser/msgboard.asp?BID=WCS&id=265560

I don't know of any LogonStudio tutorials, but it's not hard to figure out if you use existing logons as a guide.

Photoshop is the best program to use to create skins.
To make them compatible with Bootskin, you have to go to Image: Mode: Index Color: Then set the number of colors to 16 an lastly save your image as a 4 bit bmp file

Thats a problem with your BIOS Nasok666, You may have to check to see if its the latest updates. Also, some older computers (expecially older Dell's) don't seem to work with OS editing software
