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:

*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:

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 :)

I'm getting the same problem, it's just defaulting to the default No GUI Boot screen.

Well, I'm sure you're doing something wrong. Did you follow all the steps, and are you on a 32-Bit version of Vista
