Win98 Splash Screen

[judgmentday1]

Where is this bmp located?
How can I edit it?
Thank you.

judgementday 1,
C:\Windows\logo.sys, I think. I think you can use any .bmp file of the right size and name it logo.sys after renaming the original file.

on my machine the boot up splash screen is c:\logo.sys and the shut down is what Wallysaurus said. just check it.

warlord,
Thanks for pointing this out to me. I hadn't looked for this file in Win98. It was in the C:\Windows folder in 95 but I guess they changed it. Thanks

Thank you!
What about NT?
Is it on the NT directory?

There are no splash screens for NT.

What I found in C:\windows was these two files logos.sys (It's now safe to turn off your computer.) and logow.sys (Windows is shutting down).

Where is the win98 splash booting screen?
I checked C:\ and C:\Windows and it's not there!

the win98 start up splash screen is in the c:\ but its hiden.

Actualy, in Windows 98, there is no file logo.sys unless you have Plus! installed. You can put one there named logo.sys, and it will work fine.

 

[warlord]

right, I'm running SE, I guess that explains it.

So I have a splash screen that has a moving line at the bottom, like it was a gif, is there any way to be able to store a gif as logo.sys to play durring bootup?

It seems that win98/ME have a generic splash boot up screen built into a system file that kicks in if you dont have a logo.sys file in C:\ directory, but you can create one (320X400, 256 color) and put it in C:\
I did it and it works fine.
