My problem is this. I have windows xp home edition. I downloaded a file from themexp. it didnt work. messed up my computer nicely too. it may have been corrupt, i dont know. Anyways, i made my own using this tutorial. it worked, however not the way i wanted it to. when i load up my computer, instead of displaying the new screen, i get just a black screen with home edition (the white logo number 8 or 9 maybe, that i didnt change) and the three bars that scroll across. nothing else. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. i think it may be a palette problem, because the original image uses only 16 colors. is this a known problem? can someone help steer me in the right direction?
