I am still only using Win 98 SE, But might be similar.<BR>Ok, what you do is;<BR>1. go into your windows directory and look for Logos.sys and Logow.sys (there is another one. Not sure what it's called)<BR>2. open with mspaint and play around, change away. But make sure that the file size is 127k.<BR>Also when you save the file goto save as - make sure the file name is the same.<BR>e.g. Logow.sys - make sure you use " " at the beginning and end when saving<BR>e.g. "Logow.sys"

Hey now that I think about it XP would be completely different.<BR>Think it would use some kind of html format

Search google for a utility called bootloader which changes the start up and shhut down screen and keeps the animation.

I have used BootXP and it worked great. The only time I had problems was when I was making my own .bmp for startup.
