Hey Tom, you might wan't to add a warning message something along the lines of "To gain access back to the Windows Explorer shell hold CTRL-ALT-DEL, run Task Manager and select File->Run, enter "explorer.exe"."

This might save a few people posting questions on how to do this.

Is there a bootscreen available for rotated monitors? I have my monitor rotated so that the bottom of the monitor is to the left. While the computer is booting, everything is sideways, and doesn't get rotated until Gameex starts. I suck at graphics programs, even more than I do at everything else.

Can anyone help me out? I know I can use any .bmp, but I would like to have the boot.bmp, that comes with instant sheller....

I've made boot screens before, give me a picture and I'll make one for you. Also need to know if it should be rotated 90 or 270 degrees.

How do you go about making animated boot screens? I'd like a screen that mimicks ROM loading. That would fit the cab perfectly.

I use a program called BootLogo, it lets you create the loading animation too. It's all done by color cycling.

Thanks for the offer HK, I finally figured it out this morning. Paint was converting it to 24 bit color when I saved the file.

I converted the boot.bmp found in the Instant Sheller folder for vertical use. (one for 90, and one for 270)
