Hi!
Recently I have been customizing the boot screen and logon screens of my computer by changing the files in the C/windows/system32 folder. Complete instructions for changing boot screen :
1. Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen)
2. Download the .zip to your computer
3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)
4. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)
5. Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe
6. Reboot your computer as you normally would
I have had no problems when changing the logon screen, and until recently, the boot screen. However I just put a new boot screen, and now, every time without fail, my computer flashes a quick blue screen with some writing at the top for half a second (too fast to read), right after the boot process, and then restarts the computer before it fully loads windows. I have tried restarting in safe mode, which skips the boot screen process normally, but this too results in restarting of my computer before it is fully loaded. So basically my computer is caught in an endless loop of restarts, until I manually shut it off. Is there any way to remedy this? Please help me because I know I can reformat, but I would rather not =/
Thanks!
