Vista BootScreen for Windows

Used Vista BootScreen for Windows?

Editors’ Review

You don't look or act like anyone else, so why should your PC boot screen look like every other one in the world? Take care of that quickly and easily by personalizing your system's Vista boot screen with this easy-to-use app.

Vista BootSkin launches a simply designed, easy-to-understand window with five large, colorful icons and some contextual fields and drop-down menus. A large, colorful nag screen also accompanies every launch until the app is registered, but a single click sends it on its merry way. This free app performed very nicely during our tests. It responded quickly to our commands, and creating, naming, and categorizing a new skin was a fun, simple process. We liked that we could create an entire library of skins, and could choose to display them either as tiles or thumbnails. We also thought including a Restore Windows Default Logo was a good idea. Installing a skin was another simple task. And we liked that some preformatted skins were included for those users who encounter a creative block.

We like the concept of extending personalization to the Vista boot screen, and we think most users will also like it. As we note, the nag screen is a bit pesky, but most users will have fun with this little tool.

Pros
1.I didn't use it so no comments.
Cons
The # Product Ranking: #1 in Login Screens gave a fatal error to my PC.So I can't even dare to use product no#2. It will be very helpful if someone can tell me how cnet decides product ranking after so many people complain about the product.

Would not allow me to use program

Pros
Absolutely nothing
Cons
Program wouldn't open after numerous installation screens. Also large numbers of spelling mistakes in so-called professional programs are very worrying.

Cons
Wouldn't work with Vista SP2
Summary
I was looking for a simple boot screen program for Vista 32 bit with SP2. This looked exactly like what I was looking for, but I couldn't get it to work. I found a lot of programs that modified the mui in Vista SP2 were no longer working, though they seemed to work fine with SP1. I turned to Vista Visual Master and it worked fine. This looks like a nice program, and it probably works just fine with Vista SP1, but SP2 changed the kernel and the mui, so many customization programs no longer work...

Pros
Nothing. A novel idea though.
Cons
I downloaded and installed this, and it didn't work.
Summary
I am not new to software, and I am sure that I installed it correctly, however, this software is indeed defective. Whenever I try to run it, I get a window that says "Attention. Your system registry corrupted or your have not administration privileges." I have checked my system registry, and it is perfectly fine. I do have administrative privileges. Thus, I am not sure what the problem is. I can only conclude that something is amiss with the program.

Pros
you can change your Vista boot screen logos with full color images. No more boring progress bar and poor quality images. Now you can use your 32bit pictures in JPG, PNG or BMP format
Cons
Not compatible with Vista x86 SP1
Summary
if you have Vista SP1, don't waste your bandwidth downloading
LOL, a bootscreen is not a logonscreen. I have LogonStudio BTW

Pros

I hate it completely when the author ignores your additional info on the program. Absolutely no reply to your E-mail. <p>So to put it simply: I don't trust it<p>And the bootscreen BTW is what you get b4 the logonscreen. It's the black screen with the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom !
