Boot skin and start up issues
<< < (3/5) > >>

Has anyone used BootSKin on a Dell PC?  Not sure if they have their own funky Bios and such that would make it not work but that's what I was using getting my Corrupted or Invalid file or something like that.

Thanks guys some great guides here. Iv followd them to the letter and managed to remove the welcome and boot screen (not A-BIT and Bios screen though) but as far as the bit where it loads into mamewah as a shell this doesnt work and it goes straight into desk top and a cursor and egg time which seems to load for an age I should time it but Id guess its a least 1.30 secs.

I cant see whats gone wrong here as I followed everything as stated I even managed to hide the desktop icons but for some reason no joy on loading FE instead of explorer. Can you guys suggest whats gone wrong have I missed something on the guide?

Good news and bad news I decided to use the game ex shell thing as a final attempt to get this working and it worked a treat a black screen all the way up to Mamewah screen apart from slight cursor visibility issue just before mamewah screen. Only problem it worked almost too well as now when I escape from Mamewah I cant go into windows I thought I had set it all up with the mamewah ini file being altered to avoid whats now happened but guess not. Can you help with the following.

1. Can I get my computer to go into windows once iv finished playing with mamewah?
2. Can I remove the cursor icon that loads up for a few seconds prior to Mamewah starting
3. Once task 2 is done will the cursor be visible for windows applications if not is there a way it can be?

Thanks for your help so far guys it looks like im about there with this one just a few minor problems that can be rectified (I hope)

Can you just press Windows Key + E  to open Windows Explorer and go from there?  Of course you need an actual keyboard...

The only way I have found to remove the cursor icon (I assume you mean the ARROW?) is to change it...you can blank it out but then you are screwed in regular windows.  I went with a 3 pixel DOT.  1 pixel is too small IMHO.
