O.P. BOOT Screens
Can i legally modify my bootscreen? I know programs such as Style XP offer this, i was just wondering if it was legal home and business users etc?
Thanks!

RE: BOOT Screens
its not really illegal. its just unsupported and sometimes risky. you can do it with a free bootscreen from stardock if you want to.

i used to use that...
i did create my own using the proper programs etc etc... the right amount of colours but it still managed to crash my windows boot up.... can be sorted by going into safe mode but its still annoying that it happens!

RE: BOOT Screens
i've only tested the stardock version in a virtual machine. it worked flawlessly (almost.. minor graphical glitch with the progress bar)
