Two questions

Here are my problems, ANYONE who can help get these working, I will greatly appreciate for my unattended CD

Bootscreen: I've tried every **** tutorial on here, only one that remotely works is the actual guide on costemtics on bootscreens about greating bootlogo.cmd, it'll install on the 2nd ever boot of the PC, 1st boot, shows XP screen. Then once I logon to desktop and restart, that works (with a few color distortions.), what I wanted, was how to edit the actual files to where even on first boot, the bootscreen is changed. I've tried editing the exe manually, and using modifyPE, and then makecab, I've even edited the one in the sp2.cab file, nothing changes, no errors, nothing. What could I be doing wrong? I am using VMware 5.0

and I believe it's a Single Process Kernal

PC Specs:

AMD Athlon 64-bit 3.0GHz, (OC'ed)

There is a feature on the motherboard called HT, but I don't think it's Hyperthreading.

Motherboard: Asus A8V with a Venice 3500+ processor.

Logonui.exe: This one. is a bit weird. Downloaded a logonui from themexp.org, it works on my actual PC, but when I go to my virtual, it doesn't, all that shows up is the background. Yet, stylexp isn't installed on my main PC, just ResEdit and Style Builder, it's a different look than the normal logonuis, looks like longhorn (sorta), with a transparent image in the middle, and a scrollbar. Trying to think of what the link was. The exe was "Longhorn PCX Abstract.exe".

So yes, ANY help would be VERY appreciated and will help me a lot with finishing my unattended CD.

Thanks in advance!
