Hi all -

I'm attempting to get a custom logo to display from the time I turn on my box until I get to the Windows boot screen. I've managed to inject a custom logo into the bios but my logo only displays through the first post screen. When I turn on my computer, the first thing I see is the memory count/BIOS id screen, and then another screen showing the hardware ids, loading DMI pool data etc., and finally the Windows boot screen. The custom logo I've injected into the bios only displays during the first of those screens -- where the memory count/BIOs id would be displayed if there were no logo -- I still see the next screen with hardware ids and loading DMI pool data etc., etc. Can anyone give me any ideas as to what else I need to do to the bios to make my logo display until Windows is completely initialized?

Below, I've attached a screenshot of the un-modded bios modules, with the red indicating the modules I released when I put in my image.

Thanks!

Well, if you would like to change the logos with cbrom, then you have to use the original module IDs.
cbrom al8_15.bin /other xxxx:xxxx mylogo.bmp


However, using CBROM32 ( http://bnobtc.pix-art.com/bnobtc-files/award/cbrom ) is more recommend in this case.
