No GUI winload.exe.mui in Vista x64 SP1 Boot Screen

Has anyone noticed that you can't use a custom boot screen in SP1? Prior to upgrading to SP1 I had a custom boot screen which worked fine in Ultimate x64. I upgraded and lost the ability to use a custom boot screen, whether it be my original custom screen or any other custom screen. Has anyone figured out how to do a custom screen in SP1?
Lastly, anyone who has updated to SP1 x64 (or x86) if you can post the default winload.exe.mui it would be greatly appreciated. I didn't backup my original / default winload.exe.mui and I wanted to restore the original file.

actually it still should work..i use tuneup utilities...and it customizes my Bootscreen automatically..i have done it the old way where you back it up and all...but this way is easier and it does it for you

not so sure how to upload it using this forum...sorry

You can upload after posting your reply. Below the SUBMIT REPLY button there are additional options and there's a manage attachments button. If you can post your original SP1 file I would appreciate it.
Does tuneup utilities work with x64 vista? Most of the boot screen programs don't work with x64

Can you zip the file since this forum appears to accept zip files. If not just rename the extension to one of the valid extensions this site accepts. Lastly if it doesn't work can you email it to Removed

Nice screen. When you changed it did tuneup utilities backup the original winload.exe.mui? If so can you send it or post it?
