ChiDragon Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 System file protection? You've gotta boot into safe mode to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 ChiDragon - I did replace the file in Safe Mode .... i also notice that that original BMP is wight 15kb , and the one i replace is wight 320kb , maybe that is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Did you rename it (the new file which you copied) to ntoskrnl.exe ?Moreover, replacing by hand can be dangerous. StyleXP will keep your current kernel and add a BMP of your choice to the boot-screen - try it.Or try bootskin by StarDock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
