Ogre Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 OK, coupla more questions for the tech savy guys....- Has anyone figured out how to change the color of the text in the startup screen?- Has anyone figured out a way to remove the progress bar and the text that goes with it (i.e. "Setup will take approximately 39 minutes")?Heres what i've got so far. i would like to change the text to a green and remove the status bar crap.I really wish I could use some sort of animated .gif or something to have the matrix text scroll. DUDE EXCELLENT, LOVE IT.. i'm adding Neos converstion with the architect so i updated the picture.
Aaron Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 once you run makecab winntbbu.dll is there a way to open the cab file winntbbu.dl_resouce tuner says it cant open it and i deleted the original edited winntbbu.dllYou will have to expand it again to edit the dll
b0r3d Posted September 7, 2003 Author Posted September 7, 2003 @OgreVery well done! You have made my 45 minutes of writing that guide worth while

b0r3d Posted September 7, 2003 Author Posted September 7, 2003 Expanding it, is pretty much the same way as compressing it, but backwards in DOS: expand -r winntbbu.dl_
Ogre Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 @OgreVery well done! You have made my 45 minutes of writing that guide worth while thanks man. i appreciate all the help. now i just need to tweak it
Alpine Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Wow ..this is very cool !!I have a question ?%!Is this possible to change this test '' The setup will be complete in approximately ''I have look in winntbbu.dll but i can'T find it !!thx !
b0r3d Posted September 12, 2003 Author Posted September 12, 2003 I dont think it can be changed. If it can, noone has found out how yet
dare2001 Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Hi Guys,I have just completed modifying the winntbbu.dll following b0r3d's guide and when I run setup I get the old setup screen.FYI This is what I did.Using a new folder with an original copy of winntbbu.dll I followed the guide through using resourcetuner.I then saved the winntbbu.dll to the new folder.I then ran cmd and used makecab to compress the winntbbu.dll into winntbbu.dl_I then copied the new winntbbu.dl_ file into the I386 folder and it asked to overwrite the old one and I said yes.I then ran setup.exe and the setup screen was still the original one.In the guide it says not to overwrite the winntbbu.dll.I thought what the heck and overwrote it using the new winntbbu.dll file.I then ran setup again and this time the setup screen was the new one.This I don't get, the guide says not to overwrite the winntbbu.dll and I did and it workedCan someone please explain if this is right or did I stuff something up.Thanks,Dare2001
junale Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 hi guys,i have the winntbbu.dl_ in my \i386 folder.But also* winntbbu.dll* winntbba.ddlwith the same content - are they to be overwritten?
Yazoo Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I think when you do a setup straight from the CD you will use the winntbu.dll file. But when you boot from the CD it will uncompress the winntbu.dl_ and use that. Thats why you did not see the tweaked screen at first.
Enclave Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 How do I change the resolution of the setup screen? I edited my setup screen and it worked but it is only displayed at 640x400 or 800x600 not sure which one but def not 1024x768.....I set bitmap 103 with a 256 colors 1024x768.....
celzius Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Ogre, can you please post a link to your matrix winntbbu.dll file. It's very cool, thanks.

If you dont, windows will use its standard driver which may not work well with your card, forcing it into a lower resolution.Try getting the latests ones for your card, unpack them, throw them on your CD, and add the location to your winnt.sif file.
Enclave Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 That would make sense but I always thought that the driver was installed during the "Installing Devices" phase so for 5 mins I would see a screen that was low resolution. Anyway I have a Geforce 3 ti200 and when it installed the driver 45.33 it still uses low resolution.
