:iconh2co3:
HAHA this is exactly what I've been feeling about my screwed up windows lately!! :XD:
:iconfox34:
Yeah, that's exactly the reason why this bootscreen exists :D
:iconacelceva:
well..i extract it..i run it..and nothing happens
:iconfox34:
Well... you don't have to run that... try this:


Modify your boot.ini file: Edit your boot.ini file by going to the Start button / System Control / System / folder Extended / Starting and Restore / Adjustments / Systemstart button / Edit
or alternative
edit boot.ini using notepad: you can find it in the system root (normaly C:\)
(note: the boot.ini file normally has hidden and system attributes, open TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS menu in Windows Explorer, select VIEW tab, and:
tick 'Display contents of system folders'
tick 'Show hidden files and folders'
untick 'Hide protected operating system files'
You should now be able to see/open boot.ini using notepad from the system root (C:\) )

In the boot.ini file you have to copy the line you use normally use for boot (this is usually the last line, eg: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows XP" /fastdetect ), and paste this copy underneath.
At the end of this new line, add this text: /KERNEL=bootlame.exe

Then, change the OS name, for example:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows XP" /fastdetect /KERNEL=bootlame.exe
becomes
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows XP Bootlogo" /fastdetect /KERNEL=bootlame.exe

Here is an example of the modified boot.ini, with the last (in this example bold typed) line added:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows XP" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows XP Bootlogo" /fastdetect /KERNEL=bootlame.exe


Then, exit & save the boot.ini file.

Now copy the bootlame.exe into the directory %windir%\system32

Reboot your PC. You should get an option as to which OS you wish to boot into - to test your new bootscreen, select "Windows XP Bootlogo". Your system should now show the boot picture of your choice while booting.

If you don't become a menu, edit the boot.ini and move the line with /KERNEL=bootlame.exe before the other.
