Bootskin doesn't work with all BIOS's...and is for XP, definitely NOT for Vista.

There's a difference between wanting to 'look like' you are loading Vista's boot on XP and actually altering/loading a boot into Vista...

Anyone running XP or Vista 32 bit can change boot screens as well as log in screens with TuneUp Utilities 2007/2008. It will not run on 64 bit and SP1 causes conflicts with other program modules... hopefully LogonStudioVista will be compatible with 64 bit Vista (and maybe add a boot screen app as well!!!) Best of all worlds...

im on Vista 64 bit and it runs fine for me.. boot skins would be cool but the default boot screen just flashes across my screen so fast I dont really get to look at it...

I'm stumped... Vista 64, with or without SP1 will not change boot up screens, keeps the crappy Vista one... when I apply LogOnVista it takes me to the 3FingerSalute screen and doesn't take effect! Are there any parameters that you changed that I should be aware of? As far as your screen flying by, thats a problem lots would love to share... what are you running? Thanks in advance...
