Help with logo.sys
 

I installed a custom logo.sys file & it works ok...but it flashes by in
about 3 seconds. Barely enough time to view it. Is there a way to increase
the time it is displayed? Thanks for your help.

The time the bootup logo is displayed is hard-wired. The short display is
the consequence of having British settings. Not sure why this is so in ME,
but it is. On British versions it just flashes by. You can make it last
longer by setting Windows up (in MSConfig/International) as, eg, American,
but better to have a fully-working keyboard than a pretty bootup splash.

I could be wrong but didn't they change logo.sys to sulogo.sys in ME?

While I don't have the answer to your query you could try several of these
in lieu - if any display sufficiently long enough on boot, then it would be
fair to assume that your customer logo doesn't like your set-up.
I've run these on my old Win 9x box many times without problems.

Good luck.

No.
It is only stored as sulogo.sys in the .cab files in the CD, just as
it was in Win95 and Win98.

hmmm, ok, I do however remember for the short time I used my WinME, that I
changed the boot up screen by placing a customized sulogo.sys in a certain
folder, the name of which is locked up in having a senior moment right now
s; but which I have stored somewhere in my archives of help snippets.

The name of the file would have been logo.sys and the location the root of
C:\. No other name or location works.

Thanks Shane, that is what I was afraid of. BTW I have Canadian settings.
Might just try US settings & see what happens.

I beg to differ; because I have put a sulogo.sys into the windowsME
instaliation I used for a short time, and it does work as the start up
screen. Maybe you are talking about a Win9x install? I remember it quite
well; because at the time I was a little miffed that I could not use all the
logo.sys files I had accumilated from win95-win98SE in my WindowsME machine.
It took me quite some searching to find out that Microsoft had changed it
for WinME to sulogo.sys. One of the first things I tried was to do a system
file search for logo.sys, and when I didn't find it I figured they had done
the same as in Win98SE and hidden it inside a .dll and that simply putting a
logo.sys into the proper folder would overide the default and then removing
it would allow it to resume to the default logo.sys
I was also around that same time however playing about with a free
copy of Win2K I had received at the Feb17th launch of Win2K in Columbus,
Ohio in Feburary 2000, the same one at which I got a low of SWAG (Software
and Gifts) including a Win2K T-Shirt shrink wrapped to look like a flying
window logo, which I still have unopened. Microsoft got even more shall I
say sneeky with WinXP by hiding the start up screen inside ntoskrnl.exe and
you need to use a resorce editor (I reommend res hacker because it is not
only an adaquate one but free) to change it.
As I said earler I can only guess you are talking about a Win9x
machine and logo.sys; because any compent MVP or better yet a MCP (Microsoft
Certified Professional - because one has to test to be a MCP; but a MVP is
just an elected cudos type of honor) will tell you the same info I have
about sulogo.sys and WinME.

In ME the logo.sys is hardcoded into the IO.SYS (IIRC) - you can use any
(suitably modified) bmp file and rename it to logo.sys, and this will
override the default.
sulogo.sys is the logo that ME uses during the initial Setup phase, and is
not present 'live' in the OS - and can be deleted if it is present.
Perhaps you've forgotten that ME is a Win9x OS??
