Yes....keep away from hacked and patched OS kernels....you are seriously asking for trouble. <br />Obviously NTLoader thinks that the hacked Kernel [bootscreen] is a different OS to XP. <br /> <br />Boot into XP and delete the program....or do a system restore. <br />There are better ways to modify the startup screens than system hacking...;)

Ah c&acute;mon Jafo, bit of an overreaction there... hoopy_1888, locate a file called &quot;boot.ini&quot; directly at C:\. That&acute;s what ntloader reads at startup, and that&acute;s what stylexp uses to give you the options. You could change timeout, and default choice by pasting a line that&acute;s beneath [operating systems] - whole part of the lines that&acute;s before the &quot;=&quot; sign. You can also delete an option, but I&acute;d think stylexp would have an option to start with modified screen as default, and/or edit this file (haven&acute;t tried the beta) ?! Check the options ?

yeah what&acute;s wrong w/ hacking & patching? it reminds me of a good Indian Jones adventure you never know what to expect next when you reboot, all exciting and everything! <br />(course it&acute;s always best if you have a back up 2nd machine if you blow up the other one) hehe

NTLoader sees two lines in the boot.ini under [operating systems] and thus gives you a choice between the two. Edit the entries for &quot;timeout&quot; and &quot;default&quot; and you should be home free.
