Does anyone know of a shareware program to add my company logo to the boot post?&nbsp;&nbsp; <p>R & G Computers<br><a href=mailto:rafales@carnegienet.net>rafales@carnegienet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
hi.<br>my humble suggestion. ( to save your money also ) ^_^<br><br>Pls note. This method only for Win 95 and Win 98( 1st edition)<br><br>have the company logo created in Bitmap( BMP ) format.<br>Search for the file logo.sys in C:\Windows<br>Delete this file.<br><br>Now, remember the company bitmap file created?<br>rename this *.bmp file to &quot;logo.sys&quot; (without the quotes).<br>Place the newly created logo.sys into C:\Windows<br><br>Reboot the system. U should see your company logo.<br><br>chip ;)<br><A HREF="mailto:chiploon@singapore.com">chiploon@singapore.com</A>
 
Actually &quot;logo.sys&quot; is found in the root of C: and not in the windows directory.<br><br>I would also recommend renaming the original logo.sys instead of deleting it. This way, if you ever want to return to the original logo, it's much easier.
 
logo.sys, logos.sys, logow.sys I think there at the most 3, must be no more than 16 colors I think and cannot take up more than 64K of memory. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
Thanks but, I'm not trying to change Windows boot logo. What I am looking for is a Bio's boot logo program. FIC has one called NOVOS. I want to add my campany logo to the Bio's boot like IMB & COMPAC does. So that the first thing my systems do is show Co. logo and boots. <p>R & G Computers<br><a href=mailto:rafales@carnegienet.net>rafales@carnegienet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Eh, that would be very hard to do, you would have to flash your bios, and even if you managed to find a program that could possible change the display of the logo of the BIOS image, it would be written in assembly, and if you find anything like that I would STRONGLY advise that you do not do this. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
I remember I ever come across certain brand of M/B used to come with a utility that you can let add your company logo in the Bios... just can't seems to remember which brand was that...
