Splash screen Win 98se
How do I change the windows 98 splash size screen during bootup? It
currently takes up the whole screen and I just want it to be small. Also it seems to take a long time going through this part of the bootup. System is 500 p3 processor with 576 mb ram. Any ideas? JPC |

I don't think you can do what you want. A custom splash screen has to be a
certain size (320 X 400 X 256 colors) or Windows will not use it. What I suggest is that you shut the splash screen all the way off so you can see what is happening during boot. I saw one virus that operated behind the splash screen and deleted the system using a deltree command from the autoexec.bat file. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "John Callaway" wrote in message ...

You can use Tweak UI or modify the msdos.sys file.
Contents of the Windows Msdos.sys File http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=118579 Tweak UI is available from: http://www.microsoft.com/NTWorkstati.../NTTweakUI.asp Right-click the TweakUI.inf file and select install. Should a notice appear saying a disk is required, click OK and another screen appears. Click browse, go to the folder containing Tweak, OK and OK. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "John Callaway" wrote in message ...

I think you can just hit the Esc key (when the Splash Screen is showing) and
the Splash Screen will disappear so that you can see behind it. Have to do this each time though. "John Callaway" wrote in message ... On Sun, 9 May 2004 13:15:46 -0500, "Ron Badour" wrote: Thanks!
