Win98 have a much easier bootscreen to hack. I forgot which file, but it's just a specially altered bitmap, but you can just use regular bitmap (it won't have animations) however.

Probably not... however there is a freeware proggie called Desktop Architect which was written for 98 and replaces boot/startup screens, icons, cursors, taskbar and window frames, etc. It should do what you want and more,

Available here... WWW Link at PC World. You can also find themes and boot/startup screens there at PC World also. There are also theme sites, like the Penniless Prophet, but be careful of the executable files they are packaged in, as they can sometimes contain additional, unwanted files.

Hope this helps/is of use to you.

\windows\logow.sys .... it's a renamed bmp file...so [make a backup] ...rename to logow.bmp ....open in paint/whatever and alter.

Will appear distorted ...but as long as you save whatever image you make to the same proportions...and rename it back to logow.sys ....have fun.

You can also alter the BSOD to any colour you like....[can't remember the proggy used]....Umber is a good colour...cos then it's....

U SOD ...
