Help! I somehow inadverdantly must have replaced the splash screen (WinME logo when you boot up and down) with a scanned picture. Now when I boot up or down it displays this picture. The logo shows for a second when I first boot up but then goes to the picture, and when I shut down that is all it shows. Does anyone know the name of this file or how I might find the original and replace/fix it? (it wouldn't be so bad but it's not even my picture, I scanned it for a friend!)

It's been a while since I've messed with this but I know for sure that in Windows 95/98 you had three splash screen files. The intro screen was Logo.sys and even though it had the sys extension it was still just a bmp file. You're shutdown screenswere Logos.sys and Logow.sys. If your Logo.sys file is hosed with this picture you can get the original Logo.sys file off you're cab files or from your ME cd. . .assuming those files are still used in ME. HTH!

COPY the logo*.sys files to another location (folder) and DELETE the original files.
REBOOT
You SHOULD have the normal ME splash screen back. If ME is ANYTHING like 9x, a version of the splash screen is contained within one of the other boot files.
