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.

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

Right. Post back if you have any success! I'd be fascinated to know, but
have only seen it mentioned with ref British. Otherwise it is generally
quicker in ME than, eg 98se.

I don't recall previously noticing this, eg messing about with my own UK
settings, but it's the length of time the splash was showing alerted me that
someone else's machine was not set up for the UK. I corrected it with the
correct international settings and the machine reverted to our standard
approx. half-second display. iow the relative length *depending on
International settings used* appears to be set in IO.SYS.

Good luck!

Shane,

AFAIK the problem exists if the user chooses to use any code pages other
than the default as the splash goes when a non default code page is
loaded. If the OP is using a French Canadian keyboard that would cause
the problem.

OK. Cheers Mike. I thought I'd seen some KB article about it once, but
probably actually saw an answer in some forum in which as the questioner was
British, that's the nationality specifically referred to.

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

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.
