i tried to upload a scrn shot of my desktop but it was 2mb (a bit too big) lol anyway... when i boot up, i have 2 options:
Start normaly (cant remember exactly what it says) and
boot to OS to test bootscreen

when i click the 1st one, it starts with the normal scrn but the 2nd one starts with the pirate, how do i get it to automaticaly start with the pirate one, any ideas?

and i can't use any of the downloaded bootscreens, they're all in .exe format not .zip :s

jst had 2 do repairinstall because i replaced the file ntoskrnl.exe with the .exe file i wanted and my computer wouldnt boot (normal or safe mode) is there something i am missing?

Hi,madmikejt12

Oh no you are doing the same things i started
what you do is download the file you want then

here is what i did goto C:\Windows\System32\

look for ntoskrnl.exe once you find it just right click it copy
goto your Desktop Paste then rename it ntoskrnl.bak.exe or just bak

then take ntoskrnl.bak.exe place it back in C:\Windows\System32\

now reboot get the file you downloaded it will be something
like ntoskrnlsp.exe rename it to ntoskrnl.exe place it in C:\Windows\System32\
say yes reboot all should work

Now here is the thing to look out for before downloading
the file you want make sure it's for WinXP-Sp1 or Sp2

ok, i have done that. but before, i changd it to "eye" using Style XP and i did what you said (trying to change it to sun) i restarted and got the following options:
Windows XP home edition -this starts the computer with normal bootscreen
OS for testing bootscreen -This starts computer with "eye" bootscreen
