Splash Screen Changed After SP2
I don't know if this has already been mentioned in here
or not, but I want to mention it anyway. Why did microsoft have to change our boot/splash screen after installing SP2 ? Now...as I understand, everyone that installs the SP2 update has the same basic boot screen. Whether or not you have xp home edition or professional, it just simply says windows xp. Also, the progress bar is is blue, no matter if you have xp home or professional. I really wish that they would have left that alone. I guess the only way to correct this is to make a copy of the ntoskrnl.exe original boot screen file. Save it somewhere in a safe place, and then after installing SP2, replace the newly created file with the original one that you copied and saved. I also wish that microsft had setup a totally seperate newsgroup, JUST for discussing XP SP2 . |

Yes the boot screen is the same when SP2 is installed.
Why it was changed is really not known. Are you mesmerized with the boot screen? -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!

Do not take binaries from Pre SP2 and try and retro fit them to an SP2 system. The splash screen is only visible for a few seconds so is really of no concern to most users. The discussion about a separate group for SP2 has also already been had. There is no requirement for it - the groups are organised by technology areas and if your question is about one of these areas and you have SP2 then you mention it when you provide the necessary detail to help those who wish to help you assist. -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "David W." wrote in message ...

NO...I'm NOT in some sort of a trance or anything due to
the modified boot/splash screen in SP2. I just wish that microsoft would have left that area alone so that the proper xp edition would still be shown. So if I try and change the ntoskrnl.exe file after SP2 update with the original file it won't work ?? That seems rather odd. -----Original Message----- "David W." wrote in message ...

David, I must be missing your point somewhere - the splash screen on my fastest PCs is only visible for a few seconds at best, and that relies on me sitting in front of it with the monitor on. usually you just the push the power button as you are doing other things turn around and it is ready to logon. Why do you feel the display of the word Home, Professional, TabletPC or Media Center are so important for a few seconds ? And yes taking one of the primary kernel files from an pre SP2 system and trying to use it on a SP2 system is a very bad idea. Bare in mind that the kernel and a number of low level system components were changed by SP2 and mixing pre and SP2 files may lead to some sever issues. -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "David W." wrote in message ...

Splash Screen Changed After SP2
Thanks for the advice, I guess for now I'll just have to
be content with the splash screen like it is. I sure don't want to modify a "critical system file" as was stated previously. At least I can still use my computer, and as far as knowing which edition of xp that I have installed, of course it says that on the start menu border and elsewhere. Have a GREAT day ! -----Original Message----- David W. wrote: I guess the only way to correct this is to make a copy of the ntoskrnl.exe original boot screen file.

It's interesting that users don't concentrate on the important aspects of
SP2, but that the Splash Screen gets so much attention. It's almost like taking out those few characters makes people think something is missing/removed in Service Pack 2.
