--- Quote from: DrewKaree on May 21, 2006, 07:59:30 pm ---It's my understanding that it doesn't even have to actually WORK, it just has to occupy the slot so that your PC continues to try to output to it while it's booting. I could be wrong on this though, as I don't have a non-working PCI video card to test this out. --- End quote --- Guess it depends to what extend it doesn't work. If there's a defect in the video part of the card, it should be fine. If it's not communicating on the PCI bus, I wonder if the trick will work. However, can't imagine someone not having an old card lying around, or being able to get one for free or nearly free... The very last thing I need to do is remove the cursor....know how to do it. I think I will make a little black cursor, that won't be visible at start-up, but will be with a blue or white bachground. |

If you make one, can you up it to the Wiki? |

I'm not sure if anybody mentioned this yet, but Tom from GameEx has a cool little program called Instant Sheller. It can be used with any frontend, and creates a bootscreen of your choice, hides the mouse within windows and all that jazz. You guys may want to check it out. http://tomspeirs.com/gameex/shell.htm |
