####################################################### Yes 2622....click on the properties of your ntoskrnl.exe then the tab "version" to see what version you are running.............. When this XP "Boot Screen" thing started, the only version of "Ntoskrnl" was version "5.1.2600.0"(SP-0). But since then, the folks at Microsoft have decided to make "Critical Updates" that change the version of your Original "Ntoskrnl.exe" to either 5.1.2600.31(SP-0), 5.1.2600.1106(SP-1), and 5.1.2600.1224 (SP-1/SP-2), the newer version 5.1.2600.2622 (SP-2)..........of course u knew that. The Most important thing to remember is to make your "Boot Screen" with the very same "version" as the one located in "Your" Windows directory! Namely "C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe" or "ntkrnlmp.exe" for multi procs. The text at bottom on both sides........Identification is bliss!! BTW......It is a "Personal Edition" per·son·al (pûr'sə-nəl) adj. 1. Of or relating to a particular person; private: “Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted” (Elizabeth Janeway). 2. Done, made, or performed in person: a personal appearance. 3. Done to or for or directed toward a particular person: a personal favor. 4. Concerning a particular person and his or her private business, interests, or activities; intimate: I have something personal to tell you. Yes.......I did spell kernel incorrectly ......hhmmmm....that is a drag.........makes it even more personal. ################################################irq
