Re: extremely off-topic: help
The startup screen file is called logo.sys in the root directory of C and
is a standard win bitmap format.
You can use paintshop pro to convert the jpeg. It is available form from
www.windows95.com or www.download.net (i think).
Just change the extension os the created file from bmp to jpg and whack it
in. Make sure it is the same graphical size of the logo.sys file or it
will distort.
Have fun
