| 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? |

| 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!!!!!) |
