I've been lookin around for a few good XP boot screens (not logon screens), but there just aren't as many good ones as there used to be. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to go to get some really nice ones.
 
boot screen size ?

Is it a XP limitation or is it possible to oversized boot screen to more than 640x480 ?
 
Just out of curiosity, how do you load up the new boot screens once you download them, is there a program or something?
 
I'm probably gonna be using a program called Resource Hacker to replace my boot screen. I used to have a really interesting anime bootscreen, but I can't find it anymore. I'm contemplating on making my own, but first I have to find an image that I like.
 
If you are trying to make your own bootscreen remember that is has to be 16 colors (4 bit) and the color palette is hardcoded into ntoskrnl.exe. Get some information about it here: http://www.virtualplastic.org/html/logo_scr.html#4 (scroll down to the 'XP-bootscreen' chapter).
And most important if you mess around with bootscreens, make sure you know how to use the recovery console.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
