I can't find it! Its been searching for a long time and i've found no sources :huh:

cnt remember the exact name, but the me boot screen is a .sys file.
then just find a pic of server 200 save as a bitmap and rename to sys, i think it has to be certain clour depth, 256 probably.

edit: Logo.sys must be a 320 by 400 pixel, 256-color Windows bitmap file

What are you talking about? I just downloaded it out of curiosity, and the file is called 'beta_sbsetup.exe'. Just double-click on it to install. Seems like a pretty neat little program, but I couldn't find a serial for it anywhere. :unsure:

[freak]

Try right-clicking on the link (the word 'Download', below the '4094 Kb'), and select "Save Target As...".

[freak]

i did i tried too click and right click they both download the same way..... :unsure: Maybe somethings wrong with my comp??? First time i've ever had this happen.but it only does it on that site

[ooo]

i gotta say... if your using XP dont change your boot!

if u mess up ur boot.ini log your screwed... trust me... lol... i had to format my com and reinstall everything... since i tried screwing w/ the boot screen...

[serpico]

Try a program called themexp that will do the trick and change your log on screen and themes for xp. Use google to search for it.

I don't understand your problem.

At the main ScreenBooty page there is a "Download" along the top bar of the screen.
Click on that and a new page loads. There is a blue box icon in the middle of your screen.

Looks like this:

4094 Kb
Download (http://www.screenbooty.com/?section=download&download=4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click the above link and your download should start.

I your using xp, you can use: http://download.com.com/3000-2339-10103427.html
If you use an older windows, you have to change the LOGON.SYS
Its located at: C:\logon
You can search google for a program that does that too :)

That's weird. You browser isn't redirecting you to the file for some reason. Do you have IE6 with Service Pack 1? The latest version of Java Virtual Machine?

[freak]

yes nightwolf thats what it seems to be doing!?!? I'm not quit sure what version IE i have and JVM don't even know what that is *cough*noob*cough*lol....And some have suggested theme xp or something like that im using ME :D

Are you able to use Windows Update (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp)? That should tell you if you software is up to date.

You could also try going to Control Panel - Add-Remove Programs. Find your version of IE in the list and double-click on it. Then select 'Repair'. This will only work if you still have the original install files on you hard drive.

It could also be that your Privacy or Security settings (under Internet Options) are too high to download from this site.

I believe one of the two progs will help and its login.gui and logo.sys I believe.

style xp pees me off because you have to reload the theme everytime you log on.also, you can't change anything without disabling the theme.

I want to change the BIOS screen.

I flashed my BIOS on an old hp computer, with a newer bios and now the hp logo is replaced with a very colorful intel logo screen. No traces of hp anywhere&#33; Horray&#33;
