What is the problem with Boot XP
Wednesday, August 27, 2003 by kingtut19651952 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When I turn on the Computer there are two ways to Boot in if you click the top one it's the screen you chose,and if you choose the bottom one it brings you to the regular Boot screen. Can you tell me the problems you had with Boot XP ? Thanks and have a great day

The biggest problem I found with Boot XP is that it only uses 16 colors. So, you can basically forget about any nice boot screens. I found a nice dolphin one, but when it loaded it looked terrible because of the 16 color limitation. 256 colors would be acceptable but to degrade every image to 16 colors just isn't enough resolution for even the simplest of backgrounds. Look at the window part of the original image. It is terribly pixelated.
Also, there is a problem with the thing that scans like an alien eye. Moving that image around is a terrible problem too. It never stays where it is put. I gave up on BootXP for these reasons.

for the most part my issue is getting -----------> past the boot screen.
besides I am not looking at the monitor for the most part on the odd times I do reboot a system unless I am watching to see what is loading and then I want to know what windows is doing not look at some boot screen. Also, you are messing with the initial boot process by editing the source which if done wrong will leave you with a nice paper weight if you can not fix it.
