what exactly defines the position of the bar-thingie? I've tried to make the following pic the boot up screen but all I see is a black screen and a white bar in the bottom part of the screen that tells how long to wait till win2K is done booting.

Now you're talkin! Nice pic!

Your problem might be that your pic is 800 x 600 and it needs to be 640 x 480.

We never tested this method on a machine running SP2. Will give it a try tomorrow and let you all know if we can make it work. [ Wink

thanks guys. I have went to the website you guys learned how to turn of the file protection. and every time I try to change the Dword Volue in goes back to 0. even trying what MS said like putting in 2 or something. still goes back to 0 for. I guess Sp2 doesnt want to u to turn it off. but thaks guys for trying. dima@lentner.com

I found that the second palette entry determines the color of the progress bar.

Here's my new startup screen (jpeg screwed up the colors slightly):
