Changing bootscreen win xp

[Guest _ Emzy]

Hi; ive read ur tut about changing the bootscreen in windows XP; (http://www.thetechguide.com/howto/xpbootlogo/)

well; ive managed to do some things, but i got this problem. Ive changed the first bitmap; and no 10; ive saved the file, to a diffrent location. Rebooted my pc in safe mode; replaced to "old file" in de windows\system32\ map; but when i boot, i only see the bitmaps i didn't touch http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Make a copy of your ntoskrnl.exe and rename ntoskrnl.bak.

And im using Jacs Paint Shop Pro 8.0; so when i open the bitmap file, the i can import the pallet and edit the image.. that should be alright?

I have a problem that deals with XP bootscreens as well...i didnt use your tutorial, but i used a different one.  I downloaded my bootscreen from a website, replaced the ntoskrnl.exe (i think thats what its called) in safe mode, and when i tried to restart my computer, i got a choice of what i wanted to start my computer in.  This was not unexpected, and i chose "Normal mode".  But when i pressed enter, the computer just froze on that screen.  i tried this numerous times, then decided to try the other options.  When i try it with safe mode, rows of words appear on the screen as they should, but it stops at something called multi(0)disk(0)...............\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\agp440.sys.    please help  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
