BootScreen Packs!


Recommended Posts

Hi,

From now on I'll be posting some packs containing 5 Vista BootScreens.

If you have any suggestions or comments, speak it out loud.

How to install:

1. Navigate to c:\windows\system32\en-US for english; \NL-nl for Dutch and so on

2. Open the properties of the file "winload.exe.mui", click on the security tab and choose advanced to set the ownership to "Users"

3. Now copy the chosen bootscreen from the package and replace it with the one in the system32\en-US folder

4. Go to start > Run, and type "msconfig"

5. Choose the "boot" tab and enable "No GUI Boot"

6. Close msconfig and reboot your computer

Here you go, a brand new Vista BootScreen! :whistle:

Here you are, have fun with it ;)

*raises hand* how do i change permissions?

Hi there, it's explained above, but I'll explain it a bit more detailed :)

1. Navigate to c:\windows\system32\EN-us [if your on an English version of Vista]

2. Right click on winload.exe.mui and click properties

3. Open the "security" tab and click "advanced"

4. A new window pops up, where you can choose the tab "ownership". Click it

5. Click "edit" and select "users"

6. Click "OK", a window pops up, click "OK" again.

7. Now you'll be back in the previous window. Click "Edit"

8. Select "Users" and set "Full Control" to "Permit"

9. Click "Apply" > "OK".

Now you're able to replace to file :)

Sorry for my English, but I'm from Holland so it's not perfect :whistle:

This Boot-Screen is very amazing and an absolutely great work, But is it also able to use for Wide-Screen (show here)? If not, could you do it, please, because its realy fantastic.

And does it also work with Vista64?

Hi, first of all thanks for you interest and comment :)

So far, it's not possible to create 16:9-bootscreens, because the tools needed creating the bootscreens only support 800*600 and 1024*768.

The only option is to "crop" the picture inside the resolution, so the bootscreen won't look strechted after it's loaded in 16:9 Aspect.

Today I'm going to Amsterdam [Current time 8:13AM], so tomorrow I'll give it a try ;)

The Bootscreen Generator says it's not compatible with Vista 64Bit, and I didn't give it a try for I don't have Vista 64-Bit

Another thing that you can do if you do not want to change the ownership is go to the same security tab and do the following:

Click Advanced

Click on the users option

Click Edit

Select the Users option again

Click Edit

In the permissions are, make sure the "Full Control" checkbox has a check in it. Click ok and replace the file with the new boot screen and you are done :)

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
