The first screen shot I can't find anywhere it starts out with "Weclome to Windows Setup" When I try to change it Welcome to Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup" it doesn't change when I test it

The second screen shot is the screen in which I want to change the background color, how do I do this?

Also can I use special characters in these screens? when I test them they come back with a ?

if u could tell me which file it is that i can edit to change from nasty blue to black. i was guessing i could just hex edit it.

EDIT: Sorry double posted my mistake

I Believe it is serupldr.bin

im going to see if i can change the background colour. u should be able todo it by hex editing the file.

EDIT: Just had a look and cant find the hex colour so im not entirely sure if thats the correct file. if anyone knows what file this could be please say.

ScubaSteve:

If you could tell me what I should be looking for, then maybe I can find it! What are the hex codes for what I want?

well i used a screen shot and the blue colour is 00 00 AA in hex so u can try looking for that ive tried the bin and the exe stpldr files but im not sure what other files to check

Could it be in ntoskrnl.exe?

no ntoskrnl is just the boot screen that u see.when windows is loading. its not really important at all

I went through that file and did A search on 00 00 AA and no soap!
