Hi! I have on my Win98SE system the XrX program which handles Win9x/ME start-up screens and some example start-up screens from the site. I can provide a link if you want. 😀 I also sort of created my own from some old games. I have at least some of them on-line. I can provide a link there, also. I am looking for more. Any places where I can get them?

I've always just replaced logo.sys file. I vaguely remember some of the tools. XrX is one of them but there were others. I probably have one or 2 of the others if I dig around.

I thank you, but I'm looking for more images. BTW, I did that a couple of times before I used XrX.

Mcafee Utilities (which I found, back in 2002, on a magazine CD) comes with a handful, because it includes a Tweak UI like program that includes a point and click logo converter - wouldn't recommend you to install it without a backup or a snapshot-based "uninstaller" though 😀

I'm not willing to install Mcafee Utilities. I Googled for them and, other than XrX, found only one site, but it had only one. It had thunder. I downloaded it but want some more. Again, if you want, I can post a link to my C64 and NES game screenshots Win98 startup screens.

I have XrX add bar and I found somthing in one of my backups called logo mania, which I've never actually tried. But it allows you to make animated boot logos.

I have XrX open in my browser. I'll look at it now. 😀

I Googled logomania and got at best some skins for smart phones. 🙁 Thank you for trying, though. 😀
