Hi,

Just noticed something today. I have replaced my boot logos successfully, and all seemed fine. However, right before GuiRunOnce (last thing to happen before that annoying twirly welcom to xp intro starts) my logo changes to the official one with a "please wait..." or something beneath it. I have deleted the original kernels from the cab in the distribution so there should be no traces left of it.

Anyone know what to do? It won't kill me or anything, but it's annoying as ... when I've finally got something going

Cheers!

Yip, I've asked about this before because unlike you, it really killed me! It's to do with Out-Of-Box-Experience and runs because you have to activate windows.

The nasty little file is msobmain.dll and beside it is also a movie file (intro.wmv) that is the welcome to XP thing that happens just after that window...just in case that bugs you too!
