Strange Issue with Windows Loading Screen - HELP!

(1/2) > >>

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.
