gengo Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I have both a logonui.exe and ntoskrnl.exe that were modded for WinXP [sP0], but of course they do not work with SP2. Does a simple way exist [other than starting over completely] exist for altering these to work with SP2?Perhaps just copying and pasting the "Version Info" portion? Thanks in advance.

gengo Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 Okay, does anyone know if a way to modify both the ntoskrnl.exe -AND- the logonui.exe so that it will work under any flavor of XP [sP0, SP1, SP2]?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiDragon Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Even if it was a quick fix to get it to use your "SP0" files under SP1 and SP2, you wouldn't want to. There are reasons that the files were updated to begin with, after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengo Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Okay, guess I don't understand what they improved about the ntoskrnl.exe and logonui.exe file.I have tried to just copy the version info from the SP2 default ntoskrnl and overwriting the version table in the XP [sp0] already modded file and it worked. Next up, trying this with the logonui.exe file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 you'll have to manually extract resources and apply them to a new clean sp2 ntoskrnl or logonui, there isn't an easy way to "convert" them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redprive Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hello, I have downloaded boot screens & login screens from www.themexp.org and I woulk like modify them. Could you tell me how I can to do this? Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajesh.kumar Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) themexp.org mostly give us an installation file. if u want to make ur own boot and login files, first u have to make sure it works with ur version. to get into the safer side, extract the one from ur working OS and can modify them and add to ur distribution. Another advantage is that, in case any hotfix updates the kernel, u would be using the updated kernel if u extract from the system32 dir. copy the working ntoskrnl.exe and logonui.exe and open them in resource tuner. save the required bmp file u want to modify. ntoskrnl.exe -------------- open the saved bmp file in photoshop. do whatever changes like adding images, text etc and "DO NOT SAVE AS PSD FILE". simply save as bmp file without modifying the resolution or size or anything. finally replace this modified bmp file back in the ntoskrnl.exe using resource tuner. There is no problem with logonui as u can replace any image provide u retain the size of the picture. This is one of the simple ways to modify the ntoskrnl and logonui.
