I\'m finding now that after the latest service pack, boot screen mods are causing XP to blue screen right after the boot screen is done with its run.. It is specificly this problem because when I restored the previous ntoskrl(whatever its called) file from backup the system ran find again.. I tested this on two seperate machines.

Download a boot screen and restart in safe mode (press F8 before it boots up then choose \"start up in safe mode\") and cop, paste the files into C:WindowsSystem 32

If your in safe mode it should work, reboot and it should be their.

www.Sysinternals.com sells a little proggy (NTFSDOS) that gives you the ability to access NTFS from DOS (or win9x) . . . . as in a DOS boot disk . . . don\'t leave home without it!!!!!!!!

Free version is read only.

It\'s always a good practice to leave the first Gig or two of your hard drive as a fat16 partition with DOS, and Win98 on it, not to mention anything you might need for a restore like Partiton Magic, PKZip, winzip, WinRar, NTFS for DOS, etc. This way if you can\'t boot into your NT based operating system (NT, 2K, XP) you can at least get in there to fix it or have net access to look for tools or advice on how to fix it.

You dont boot to command prompt with XP. Command prompts are bascially gone now. You can get a psuedo-command prompt with the recovery console, but that wont be helpful in most cases

Get a program called logon loader. It will change your boot screen without using safe mode.

To get logon loader go to www.deviantart.com.
Choose software. Find Logon Loader.
To download click on the file size.

I would simply like to design my own BOOT SCREENS is there a way to do that with Photoshop, and Not Have to Copy the Kernel from my System32 everytime I want to design...

Is there a way to just design what I want?

I\'ve very good a designing in Photoshop, but how do I apply the two?

I have pictures of my family that I would like to use as my BOOT SCREEN, I\'ve been using BOOTXP, and I\'m kind of getting it, but still a little slow with it. I enjoy designing very much so I want to use some of my own work.

QUESTION: When I try to pull in my picture tp replace the old one (Using BOOTXP - Picture designed in PS7) It tells me one of the color palletts is wrong, and it screws up the colors...

How do I keep that crystal clear look, like everyone else has?

Thanks for your help...

Hey

I wasted alot of time making an original image for my boot screen. To acheive that, I had to edit (through paint shop pro / notepad) the pallet winXP uses for its boot screen. I have the boot screen set up and all that jazz. For like half a second the propper colors are up, then the screen flashes black, and then all the colors are messed up. Does anyone know how to remedy this.... thanks.

I also followed the instructions and restarted under safemode as instructed, however it still shows the normal windows xp pro screen.

But when I open the file the file still has the custom image.

I am a noob, please help my noob slelf =()

You have reboot into safe mode, and replace the file while in safe mode. Then reboot into windows normally and it should \"work.\"

I want to use my own images for boot screens. When I replace the bitmap in the ntoskrnl.exe file with one of my bitmaps, the colors of the boot screen either comes out all whack or completely black. How can I fix this? Thanks.
