Re: XP Pro startup screen

It says XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service pack 2 build 2600. It did have home on it before it formated and installed Pro? on it.WOuld that make a differance? Everywhere i go for sys info says Pro. In the control panel...sys info..msconfig. Just don't get it?? Any other suggestions?

HI!
Well, this isn't a fix..more a work around.

Stardock BootSkin is a program that allows users to change their Windows 2000 and Windows XP boot screens.

Unlike other programs that can change the Windows XP boot screens, BootSkin does so in a safe manner. It doesn't patch the Windows XP kernel. Nor does it require the user to download replacement Windows XP kernels to do so.

This has 2 advantages: 1) Boot screens that use BootSkin are typically under 20K compared to other boot screen programs whose files are over 2 MEGABYTES. 2) There is no risk of having your system unable to boot due to a corrupted file or after applying a service pack.

And best of all, BootSkin is free.
