how to remove old version of KernelEx manually? I've removed the RP7 without removing the old kernelex off my system, I have problem installing RP9 now since the old kernelex is running on my system. again, how to remove the kernelex manually (the uninstall option was lost after removing the RP7)

I'm happy that programming needs a lot of mathematics, so I can help you without understanding some assembler code. I made this XP startup logo (it really looks the same like the original - there's no difference!). And if I saw the progress bar, I noticed, how it works. Without the three blocks of the progss bar it is really hard to realize how it works. I used your source and it's awesome! The animation runs on my laptop (the original source won't do this). You also created a nice logo. But there are a few things: 1. The size of the progress bar (14px) seems not optimal for animating. Try to think in three blocks spaced by 2px regarding the terms above, you should use 13px or 16px. If you use 13px progress bar, use progrstep=5 (3px block + 2px space) or progrstep=6 (4px block + 2 px space) for 16px progress bar. Then you need a progrmax=progrstart+progrstep*X where X = (lengh of animation + 2 px / progrstep) - 2. To explain the formula: I used the XP \LOGO.SYS and figured out the relationship of the animated witdh, the animation width, the progrstep and the 13. You can do your own brainstorm and you'll find the same formula. So, I decided to enhancd the animated block with 2px and set "progrstep = 6" the animation lengh of the startup.bmp (180px) don't fit with this parameters, so I enhended it with 4px, so X = (184px + 2px / 6px) - 2 = (186px / 6px) -2 = (31) -2 = 29. The resulting "progrmax" line is: progrmax = progrstart+progrstep*29 Please note: check out the parameters progrstep, progrwidth and X before you create your startup logo. 2. Threre is a visual glitch by moving the progress bar: on my notebook (ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics) the animated progress bar is a block of foreground color (magenta) , on my desktops the correct bar is moving, but the background color (black) switched to the foreground color (magenta) after redraw the progress bar. Hope I was helpful for this progress bar stuff... GOD bless, Holli Edit: I checked out your error messages. But I don't like to press a key while starting up my system ('cuz I often turn the computer on and go to get a coffee... ;-). It is possible to put out an non centered massage in the first two lines like this: Thanks! ___ The "XP" \LOGO.SYS seems so real! I shocked some people with using it as a screensaver under XP. (If you also want to shock someone, take my attachment and store it into C:\WINDOWS of a Windows XP system. Then import the "screensaver.job" file into your scheduler (just drag and drop) and activate it. Every time, when the system is idle for more than 5 minutes, Windows XP "reboots". To stop rebooting and return to Windows XP press any key.... ) XPLOGO.ZIP thanks holli for the xlogo.bmp, i tried to replace tihiy's logo.sys with your xplogo.bmp (renamend as logo.sys), and works fine, it looks like really an XP boot screen. -cruzades

@Gape I have my windows 98 SE + rev pack 7.11 by Tihiy's, is it safe to use your updates/patch without uninstalling revpack?
