Vista Boot Logo Generator 1.1

I havent tried this as I aint got Vista yet - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

know a lot of people were disappointed by the lack of a decent boot logo in Vista, so I’ve thrown together a tool that should simplify the process of creating the new high resolution boot logos!



Your works of art need to be saved as 24-bit BMPs, and you’ll need to create them in two sizes: 800×600 and 1024×768. On my machine the boot logo always defaults to 1024×768, but I assume the 800×600 version automatically kicks in if your graphics card is rubbish Once you’ve selected your two images, just click File -> “Save Boot Screen File As…” and it will generate the logo file. To make the logo come up during boot, you’ll need to copy the file to the following folder:
%windir%\System32\en-US
You’ll also need to make sure the /NOGUIBOOT option is enabled in the MSCONFIG tool, otherwise you’ll only get the old 16 colour boot screen. For full details, make sure you read the info during setup.

IMPORTANT: It’s still beta and there may be bugs so use at your own risk, and make sure you backup first!

Hi all,

Sorry, it only works on the 32 bit Vista. However, the boot screens you make with it will work on the 64 bit Vista. See the bottom of this tutorial.
