I just freshly intalled Windows 98 in a VM and installed Autopatcher 2007 right away.
Now the boot animation is gone and during boot only a DOS prompt is shown.
Is there a way to fix that and bring back the boot animation?
Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Windows 98 bootscreen gone?
Nevermind i found out how.
You need to navigate to a hidden file in the C: folder in Windows 98.
(first make hidden system files visible by navigating to View<Folder options<View (select tab) and check "Show all files and folders" under the "Filed and Folders" category.
Then navigate to C: and there will now be a once hidden file called "MSDOS.sys"
Open MSDOS.sys in notepad and scroll down to the very bottom.
There will be a value named "Logo=0"and its set to 0.
Set the value to "Logo=1" (without brackets) and save the file on the desktop as "MSDOS.sys" (again with no brackets).
Now rename the old MSDOS.sys file in C: to MSDOS.sys.old and paste the newly created MSDOS file from the desktop to C:
(WARNING: MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE VERY CAREFULLY AS MSDOS.SYS IS A FILE CRUCIAL FOR WINDOWS TO START. REMOVING, WRONGLY EDITING OR RENAMING THE FILE INCORRECTLY WILL RESULT IN A BRICKED UP SYSTEM!!!!!)
