I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) splash screen that comes up as you start the computer. The screen that will splash Dell or Sony etc~ I have located a bitmap file that has the logo on it and is named OEMLOGO.bmp but it doesn%26#039;t do anything when I change it. I am not talking about the bootskin that has the windows logo on it.
I am running an older laptop that is no longer under warranty (not that the manufacturer actually wanted to honor the warranty), so I am not to shy about changing some of the features on it.
