Strange Issue with Windows Loading Screen - HELP!
Hituro:
Ok, so when my cab boots up, I have the classic windows XP loading screen. Well, recently I decided I'd change it. So I tried BootSkin, made my own Boot screen. When I restart, it loads fine, except that the image doesn't take up the whole screen. There's like a black bar that runs down the right side. I tried default boot screens, same thing happens. I then decided, I won't use BootSkin, and I'll try adding it through the boot.ini file. I set everything up. Restart. (btw BootSkin is disabled at this point) And... SAME THING! Wtf? When I have the default windows logo it looks fine. I can't seem to figure this out, it's mind boggling. I don't know if it's because I'm using a Wells Gardner D9800 arcade monitor and an ArcadeVGA3000, but, why would it only affect, NON-Windows Loading screens? I'm just super confused. Has anyone had this happen before? Or know anyway to fix it? I tried asking in the BootSkin Forums, but haven't really gotten any answers.
SavannahLion:
Is the replacement the right size?
Hituro:
yes, it is 640x480 72 Dpi 16 colors 4 bit.
severdhed:
could it be that it is happening with the default boot screen as well, but you just don't notice it because the background is black?
Hituro:
You know, i thought the same thing, but the default logo is pretty centered compared to other load screens. Either way, it'd be nice to fix this. Worst case, I can just redesign my Logo to have a black background and off center it to "hide" the problem. Probably would be the most easy fix for it. Only thing I can think of is it might have something to do with the monitor refresh rate before windows drivers are actually loaded since I am using an arcade monitor.
