2003 boot screen help

[possy_99]

I recently downloaded a trial version of Windows Server Enterprise 2003 from MS. I've done a winnt.sif unattended install to demo at a job interview I have coming up.

I'm now trying to change the setup billboard background to have the logo of the organisation in it, I have opened WINNTBBU.DLL using reshack, and have replaced the bitmaps of the exisitng background, but when I test this, it still has the default background. When I try and open 123_1033 using reshack, it comes up with an access violation error.

can anyone help, is 123_1033 the bitmap I need to replace, as this is the only reason I can think why the original background is still being displayed.

Thanks for any help

I had same problem with Reshacker and that particular bitmap. Resource Tuner opens it ok though, so I ended up using that to change it.

thanks for your response spaceboy, the program you suggested did allow me to replace the bitmap reshack wouldn't, so res turner obviously seems the better of out the two I have tried. the background still hadn't changed though, lol..
