ok before the mods here tell me to do a search about this topic i did do a search. came up blank. here is my question, the bootup screen i created that work w/ sp1 no longer works with sp2. I would like to ask the group a step by step method on how to create a bootup screen that works for sp2. I hv tried downloading several boot screens from themesxp.org and none of them will work for my unattended xp. when i test it on VM it just goes on a loop, it keeps shutting down and starting up again. Thanks
