Hi all

I have an ASUS P5E and running Windows Vista on it. I recently tried
changing the boot screen with the program MyLogo, which is part of the
ASUS Update package that was on the motherboard's installer CD-ROM. I
read out the current BIOS and saved it as a file BIOS.rom, then used
MyLogo to add a 640x480x256 GIF-based boot screen, finally wrote the
modified BIOS file back to the EEPROM. When I rebooted, the POST
messages said the checksum of the CMOS was bad so all the BIOS
settings were lost. I guess that's normal after a BIOS update, isn't
it? Anyway, I made sure my settings were correct, in particular the
one that's responsible to replace POST message display with the boot
screen. However, the boot screen just did not show up.

I figured the GIF-file I had created with Photoshop was somehow fishy
so I retried the same thing again with a GIF-file I created with
Paint, but to no avail. I can't use BMP because a 640x480x256 sized
BMP is larger than 150k, which is the limit for boot screens. I just
can't get this to work.

Has anyone had similar problems? Thanks for your replies!
Peter
