I tried using several programs for changing bootscreens, but nothing changes...

I also tried uninstalling only the bootscreen, but now all i see is a black screen!

You can change the bootscreen by creating a 640x480 8bit bitmap in paint or something like that and save it as boot.bmp in your windows directory and then at the end of your operating system variables in boot.ini... put these switches in

/bootlogo /noguiboot

and restart, and wallah...

yea, but i dont want a static bootscreen, but one with an animated loading bar...

And it's an .exe, NTOSKRNL.exe. I could extract the .bmp, but then i wouldnt't have the bar, now would i?

Welcome to the forums and try to use the search button. Forum is full of this topic.

Get started here!

I know all this, and yes, i searched the forums... point is... when i replace the NTOSKRNL.exe with the modified one, i get a black screen...

you're probably using the wrong palette

googling will help

if you followed the guide over on unattended.msfn.org for changing the bootscreen it should work pefectly providing you do it correctly and follow the guide exactely.
