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!

Why would it be?

why wouldnt it be?

dont reply with comments that are completely unhelpful, you're just trying to be a smartarse

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

Yeah i read about that, i was just more concerned over does it invaidate the EULA (as i'd be using it at college/work), i checked out a copy but couldnt see anything specific.

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!

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

i wouldnt be Playing around with your Boot Screen, means disaster if you do that, unless you backup everything before doing so

I've changed my boot screen many times and have had no problems.

I used a program called BookSkin by Stardock. http://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/

i have done my bootscreen and tryed moding it, skining it, that Xpize thing (i'm using a 64 bit computer), windows vista skin patch. ect. ect.

and my computer is F***ED!!!!!!!!!!

so my advise is:
DON'T DO IT!

but thats just me...
