boot logo

[wrench]

I know this is a bit of a stretch on the topic as it really doesn't appy to the gameex program itself.I'm trying to make my own boot logo to use with the instant sheller and have a minor problem.I'm using photoshop to make the bmp image,it's 640x480 in size.It applies ok but I keep getting a white border all the way around the image when booting,if you open the bmp up in a photo app its not there,it's black all the way to the edge like I made it.Any idea's on why this white border shows up when its set to be my boot image?Thanks.

Dont worry about the OT.

All I can think is it must be your colour pallette. The Bitmap should have a defined 16 colour pallette for the composition, and be saved with this pallete as a 16 Colour bitmap. Other than that no ideas, sounds strange. It could be its translating the colours to something else maybe?

ok I got rid of the white border,somehow white got added to the color pallet even though I didn't select it.I replaced it with black and alls ok.But,there is always a but.I've been trying this and the sheller on my beater experimenting computer before I put it on my arcade machine.The sheller works great on it,but the arcade machine keeps wanting me to select a user to log in with.Both have xp pro,the one it works on has sp2,the one that it doesn't has sp1.Do you think that may be the cuplrit?I had trouble getting sp2 on the rig in my arcade so I just left it with sp1.Also has there been any agreement on the newer nvidia drivers working correctly or not or are they still hit and miss.Thanks

First, you may need to switch off the welcome screen.

Start->Settings->Control Panel->User Accounts->Change the way users log on or off, then untick "Use the Welcome screen"

I use the following method to auto login...

- Click Start, click Run, and type "control userpasswords2"

- Clear the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.

- Click Apply.

- Enter the user name and passwod you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.

- Click OK again and you're all done.
