Does anyone know how you'd go about moving the progress bar in a hex editor? Also, I don't suppose there's been any progress hacking it to use 256- or 16-bit colour? 256 at least seems like it'd only be a matter of repointing the palette table and hacking the image-reading code a bit, but I don't know enough x86 ASM to try it (and hacking assembly in the Windows kernel seems a bit risky).

[edit] Found a thread on moving the bar up and down, but not left and right.

What the heck, I replaced bitmap #1 but I still see the old bootscreen. #9-12 don't exist (I have 1-8 and 13-15), and no others are big enough to be it; #5 is a Windows logo and the words "Microsoft Windows", but not the rest of the image which is still present somehow.

[edit] After replacing #5 the entire boot screen is black except for the progress bar. >_<

Well, has anyone cracked it yet? Has anyone been able to totally change it all around to allow more than a 16 color image?

My being lazy, does anyone have a working way to easily do this to Win98SE without damaging anything?

i made my boot screen but when i go to use it i select it from my list and it just restarts me pc. any idea on why it does this

[rehbar]

Use resorce hacker to changin boot screenof any os like 2k xp , 2003....

Note: ... copy ntoskrnl.exe and ntkrnlmp.exe orignal files form xp cd. They will be in ex_ form so rename them to .ex_ to .cab and then extract them and then open in resorce hacker.
Use your 16 coulors bmp pitcure to replace xp logo. The first black screen will boot screen so you have to replace it. Then save it and
by makecab command make theire cabnets one by one and rename them .cab to .ex_ .
Copy theses filese into i386 folder of xp. and use nlite and disable windows file protection. Then instal xp it will use your custom boot screen.
Try and pm me if work

Can someone HELP me?

I am trying to make my Boot Screen look like the one , but when Windows is booting up it is showing up as these with distorted colors. Which file I need to edit in the Windows XP Pro CD and what do I need to do to correct this problem?

[CelticWhisper]

Is anyone aware of how to do this without Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop? TheTechGuide offers downloads for PS/PSP palettes, but I only have access to the GIMP and Macromedia Fireworks right now.

Do any of these custom boot logo's work on xp64?, a friend of mine tried one and it didn't want to boot after that.

For a few years ago i was making my own custom bootscreen´s, but now with SP3 i can´t find out wich number i will be using to make my new ones!

SP2 = 1, 8 and 10!
SP3 = ?!?! (Because it´s only 1-8 and 13-15)

Somebody got any clues for me and the rest of the ppl that´s using SP3

Cheers

Hi,
any luck, Kyrill
Have you tried trial and error ?

I wouldn't wanna put tuneup and parrallel stuff during my bootup

[magiccrazy]

thanks very good

From what I've noticed, they appear to have removed the Pro and Home sections in SP3 so they all use the same boot screen now. But, oddly enough, appear to have added "Server Family"
