BootXP 2.1

Thanks BootXP Software for emailing us with updates on BootXP.

"BootXP is an easy-to-use start-up logo changer. Use bitmap files or kernel files as sources. Show animated full-screen previews of the screens; you will see it as if you were booting. BootXP also makes a copy of your kernel and has a safe install/uninstall progress. With this new version, you can use any bitmap of 640x480 with 16-bit color, and you aren't limited to the default boot palette.

Features in version 1.85 include a highly optimized installation with BOOT.INI auto-detection, drag-and-drop support, and the ability to search for boot screens on the Internet from the BootXP interface." ~ Download.com

Changes:

• Fixed a bug that make impossible that BootXPv2 can run, this bug was triggered when you make a "Reinstall Of BootXP" in the boot.ini.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when drag and drop image files that need to be converted.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when you uses a TIFF with LZW compression.
• Fixed a bug that make impossible to drag and drop NTOSKRNL files and Zipped NTOSKRNL files.
• Added the functionality of use any type of zipped bootscreen, not only NTOSKRNL files.
• Added the feature to view the selected boot screen from the BootXP.net list with a click from BootXP interface.
• Optimized code (smaller size and zero risk of crashes when converting JPGs and other formats) but now you need to have this DLLs: MFC70.DLL, MSVCR70.DLL, and MSVCI70.DLL (all of them are available in download page).
• Added the option to export the converted boot screen to BMP Format.
