Re: Boot screen

It may have been updated when the SP1 was installed, but it is a part of the normal Vista install too. I'll add to this to the list as a potential cause.

Thank you,
Shawn

Re: Boot screen

FWIW i have just replaced winload.exe.mui in the C:\Windows\System32\Boot\en-US folder as well but the results are the same with Aurora showing at boot.

Re: Boot screen

LOL Smiler,

Sorry, still no workaround found for a custom boot screen with SP1 installed yet.

Re: Boot screen

Slightly off-topic, but here's my vote for the last selection: OS boot information.

As noted above, the Aura or Aurora screen is butt-ugly on a high res screen, especially the one in SP1. And the flow of info you get when you click the OS info choice is reassuring, especially to us box-monkeys who just can't leave well enough alone . Also as noted, if you run a disk check regularly (is this a good idea? or am I 'noid?) or memtest or anything else like that, it makes it more of a pain to have to go through the extra steps.

IMHO not all the cool changes are worth keeping. They are fun to play with though, won't argue that.

Re: Boot screen

Hello everyone, i'm new to this very helpful and of course awesome forum.

I just wanted some of your help. I followed the steps but the aurora screen won't change even in this path C:\Windows\System32\Boot\en-US.

I'm using Ultimate 32bit SP1. Thanks in advance. Hoping for replies.

Re: Boot screen

Hi Grungero, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Did you do all of the steps in Option One for this?

Option Two and Three will not work with SP1 installed.
