August 26, 2003 3:36:32 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I thought this sounded better, If you want to have a Boot Screen for your Computer go to www.bootxp.net The program is very easy to use and it's the cheepest program I ever seen. I think you will like the program Jim And you can also use wallpaper for your boot screen

jmcjmk, it's the cheapest program you've ever seen?

LogonStuido is free and does what Boot XP will do while doing it better...

You should check it out, it is on this site.

Logon studio will not replace the screen you see when you first turn on the PC...the screen that says "Microsoft Windows XP" with the scrolling blue line...Boot XP does...

That alters the boot.ini which adds another section after fast detect iirc multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

I tried this once however it started hanging system something to do with USB devices.

IPlural this is not same as LogonStudio, Bootxp loads just as OS starts as the image needs to be 256 and 640x480?

Which really i dont think its wise to use this as i found stability problems with it the fact it points to another NTOSKRNL after fastdetect created problems for me.

As someone really not knowing what to do with this might cause their OS not to boot

As ive seen quite a few places people altering their boot screens, then posting "HELP ME CORRUPT BOOTXP" or something like that, as no doubt thats why Stardock hasnt made one of these yet? imagine all the complaints and people looking for support for BOOTXP type programs to get their OS back to normal working order.

Several bootscreen apps mentioned and links provided in the discussions, including BootXP.

and another

A Warning:
Changing the boot screen palette in Windows XP involves getting in and making changes to the kernel of your system. If you screw things up, you can REALLY screw things up! Your system could become "unstable" or it might not even boot. If you are not prepared for this eventuality, I would suggest you quit reading now, and learn to live with the boot screen that comes standard in Windows XP. I will show you all of the steps to take to make sure you are able to recover from any errors, but nothing is foolproof. I simply cannot be responsible for anything that happens with your system because of steps taken in this How-To.

http://www.geocities.com/thejjoelc/XPbootcolors.html

there is a utility and instructions for totally changing the whole dang thing at that link...

though personally like VF states, I wouldn't touch it...

I found out when you turn on the Computer there are two ways to boot if you hit the top one it Boots the boot screen you chose, If you click the one below it boots your regular XP boot screen just thought I would let people know
