I'm currently using TuneUp Utilities, without it the bootscreen won't work. I tried ResHacker but no success.

Can someone make this an exe for me?

Thanks in advance

I uploaded the images HERE

If you apply the bootscreen using TuneUp Utilities, it will create it as an exe file - TuKernel.exe - in system32, as it doesn't replace ntoskrnl or use a custom driver, but it uses the boot.ini /KERNEL switch (just check boot.ini when TuneUp Utilities is installed and you applied your bootscreen).

Without tuneup installed it won't work, it's just like the default windows bootscreen.

This is not a boot screen this is the logo you are talking about. If it is Windows XP, 2000, there is a special thingy you have to do and it is in that section. You can see it give you a preview when ytou replace the original loading screen. If it is Vista I have no idea maybe it is the same thing.

In fact I just found the website agian.

I was thinking about doing the same thing since I just got a couple of new computers.

Tried it before but no success. That's why i'm asking this favor

1. install TuneUp Utilities, apply the bootscreen and restart

2. go to System32 and copy TUKernel.exe somewhere else (ie. to Desktop)

3. now you can uninstall TuneUp Utilities (do this before you continue and don't forget to restart)

4. copy your saved TUKernel.exe back to System32 (you can also rename it but it has to be ANSI max. 8+3 name)

5. open boot.ini in notepad, copy the line with your default boot entry to a new line (to have backup), add /kernel=TUKernel.exe (or if you renamed it /kernel=new_name.exe) on end of the first enry (bee very careful when editing boot.ini, if you screw up your windows wont boot) and set some minimal timeout so you can switch back to the default kernel if anything goes wrong

example of modified boot.ini:

[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXP
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /Kernel=TUKernel.exe
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional (original kernel)" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
