ihaveabu Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I'm having some problems making the boot screen show up. I used this guide:http://board.msfn.org/index.php?showtopic=9421and the pinned guide by bor3dbut neither works. i've tried putting bootcfg /RAW /A /Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe /ID 1bootcfg /Timeout 0bootlogo.cmd and this in winnt.sif:[GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\bootlogo.cmd (with the cmd in the install folder next to start.cmd)and i've tried[GuiRunOnce]bootlogo.cmdas said in the pinned guide, but neither works. a box pops up and says bootlogo.cmd can't be found. am i doing something wrong? i put the oemkrnl.exe in:\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\System32\i also tried:[COMMANDS]"useraccounts.cmd""REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"bootcfg /RAW /A /Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe /ID 1bootcfg /Timeout 0and saved as cmdlines.txtas described in the guide by gosh. i still boot with the same old boot screen as b4. help?

ihaveabu Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 one more thing:Wallpaper:To change your default wallpapers, simply place the image file which you wish to have as your wallpaper into into $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper - If this directory does not exist, now would be a good time to create it To actually set your default wallpaper to something different, orther than Microsoft's default grassy hills wallpaper (bliss.bmp), you need to use a little regristry tweak.Add this to your tweaks.reg file: - Thanks to DaveXP for this tweakCODE [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]"BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\xppaper.jpg""Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\xppaper.jpg"Ofcourse you will need to replace "xppaper.jpg" with the actual file name of the wallpaper you wish to use, including its extention.Note: I am not sure if you can use %systemroot%\\Web\\Wallpaper\\name_of_wallpaper yet, but i will try it out, and update this part of the guide.i'm guessing those \\ things are only supposed to be 1 \ rite? tried it as the guide said and didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Could be because you have the wrong kernel. Do you have a multi-processor or hyperthreading cpu? If so you need to be using a modified ntkrnlmp.exe.What version of windows XP are you using? What version is your OEMkrnl.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 It's in the I386 directory as well as driver.cabIn my I386 directory, there is ntkrnlmp.exe as well as ntkrnlmp.ex_. I'm not sure how to mod ntkrnlmp.exe. I'm sure you can use resource hacker.There are differences between sp1 and sp2 so I can't help you there. I think there's a thread for modding the sp2 kernel.

MCT Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 also, when specifying a path via a .reg file u NEED 2 \\ 1 is for the path & the other magically disappears when imported, its basically so windows knows its a path (someone maybe able 2 explain it better, but u do need 2 \\) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
