| 778810 | 2009-06-03 04:58:00 | We're talking about the BIOS boot screen here:p Not the Xp Boot screen, anyone can change that(done it myself:D) Which boot screen, the one which shows the blue progress bar? If I recall correctly, this requires changing some of window's system files, it is not simply a case of replacing a bmp. Microsoft did not recommend doing this because when it comes to windows updates, the system file (which contains other things as well as the boot animation) will not be recognised, so will not be updated. If the other parts manage to update, which require this file to be updated, you could be left with a computer which doesn't boot. |

Or use Tuneup Utilities. |

I have done this mod a millon times on my own systems and not one of them had any problem updating. The only problem was that when the update was applied it would delete my customised file and replace it with the updated and normal one. Which is why I have done it so many times. Eh? I think you just modify the NToskrnl.exe using resource hacker... That's exactly what I have always done. Although there are actually 4 different files (ntoskrnl.exe, ntkrnlmp.exe, ntkrnlpa.exe and ntkrpamp.exe) you can mod, depending on which one you're running, and that depends on how many CPUs you have and if you have PAE enabled or not. See if you can work out which one is for what! |

I found it was the only way I could get a properly animated bootscreen. I tried With BootXP once but the little squares just jumped back to the start instead of dissappearing properly |

Then you must send to Nigeria a $10,000 USD cheque to cover the processing costs. Also you must send a photocopy of your passport and credit cards and driver's license to ensure we can verify your identity |
