YT2095 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 ok, I asked a mate this question, If you want right at the begining then no you cant, as that`s the BIOS that does the mem test. yer .bat file doesn`t kick in till after according to him. so if you want before this then you`ll need to re-flash your bios chip (DON`T do this!!!). he say`s the screen that says Windows 98 you can change though. you need a 16 color image, and he thinks it`s 640x480 (he`s not sure). then you can save it into the windows DIR, but you need to give it a special name. search the net for changing win89 slpash screen. that`s the best I got for you. here`s the transcrpt...... Darkness> right at the very beginning? <YT2095> yup <YT2095> seems that way <Darkness> erm <YT2095> it don`t look at the bat file does it then? <Darkness> iirc thats the motherboard <YT2095> that`s the bios <Darkness> yeah <Darkness> you'll need to look/ask on the manufacturers website <YT2095> how `bout after tho? <Darkness> erm <Darkness> the screen that says windows 98 starting up you can change <YT2095> how? <Darkness> you need a 16 colour image <Darkness> cant remember the size 640x480 i htink <Darkness> but then you need to save it somewhere in the windows directory i think <Darkness> but you need to give it a special name <Darkness> just search the net for changing win98 splash screen. hope that helps a little?
