Jito463 Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Just FYI, I didn't read anyone else post this so here goes. I used our custom background for work on my preinstallThen I changed it to a 24-bit BMP (not 256, 24-bit). And edited the winntbbu.dll file. Which, btw, I had no compressed version of that file in my i386 directory. Only the expanded version, which is what I used. Then loaded it into my VirtualPC and this is how it turned out (mind you, it's a work in progress still):So you're not limited to 256 colors on the bmp images. Hope this helps someone else.*EDIT*Oops, first image was a little too big at 1024x768. Reduced to 640x480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 jito - just remember that if youre video card isnt found by windows (ie, when youre done installing windows, and you cant go higher than 800x600), then windows will not display your winntbbu image...this is why people say to convert it to 640x480 256 colors, so that it will work no matter what.

NTDDesktop Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Thank you very much for the tutorial. The information comes in very handy when I create custom OEM XP installs for my home computers. I have also found your other guide very useful as well, thank you.
