Win98 start-up logo screen wanted!
Hi! I'm new to this forum and came to ask for an URL to a web site with Win98 start-up logo screens. So, where can I get some?

It's further animated in the moving bar across the bottom of the screen. Without knowing the compression technique used (and nobody will tell) or where it's at you CAN'T change it so very easy. There used to be instructions on how to make a similar animation bitmap on the web, but those sites are going to be hard to find in these latter days for 98. So unless you buy the software that used to be able to do it, which is why those that knew how weren't telling how since they were selling the how, you just can't get there from here. Shutdown is a separate issue and a different method. This one is simply named logow.sys and is found in the windows folder. Copy it somewhere else and change the extension to .bmp and view it with paint or any other image viewer. Any replacement will have to be exactly same type, same size bitmap. |

Thank you, but I already know how to create the images--except the animated scrol bar on the bottom. I just want a pre-defined logo.

(There are actually two used at shutdown - one while, and the "it is now safe ..." one [which you won't see if your PC shuts itself off]. The shutdown ones don't animate.) The special made logo is compressed using a sekret method and stored in io.sys file. It's further animated in the moving bar across the bottom of the screen. Without knowing the compression technique used (and nobody will tell) or where it's at you CAN'T change it so very easy. You can - well, for '95; I can't remember whether for '98. (I think it's the same.) See http://logos.xrx.ca/faq.htm; basically, it uses C:\LOGO.SYS if it exists, and the one compressed into the system file if it doesn't. (If you have compressed drives - remember those? - it has to be in the root of the host drive.) No one? - I'm sure I read about it ages ago - the startup program toggles the (just the blue?) palette to give the impression of a running bar at the base. I remember some quite imaginative ones - waterfalls, etc.; there's a nice Christmas tree at http://logos.xrx.ca/, as well as lots of others, not all animated. http://xrxlogo.com/win95logo.htm There used to be instructions on how to make a similar animation bitmap on the web, but those sites are going to be hard to find in these latter days for 98. http://www.xrx.ca/logoutils/ Some are still up: http://www.ehuna.org/open95.htm So unless you buy the software that used to be able to do it, which is why those that knew how weren't telling how since they were selling the how, you just can't get there from here.

Copy it somewhere else and change the extension to .bmp and view it with paint or any other image viewer. Any replacement will have to be exactly same type, same size bitmap. Also stretched/squashed: it should start as a 4:3 ratio (e. g. 640×480), and be resized in your favourite graphics prog. to 320×400 - it will be (un?)distorted back to original ratio when displayed by Windows 9x. -- J.
