Glen's advice fine as far as it goes, but if you do not have
C:\LOGO.SYS file, then the image comes from the C:\IO.SYS file in
compressed form. IO.SYS is renamed from winboot.sys file which can be
found in base5.cab file on your installation CD. IO.SYS file must be
readonly attributed at bootup so some caution here is advised - if you
don't know what that it is, read up on it until you do. A google
search for 'io.sys' a good place to start that process.

As far as it goes.....the IO.SYS file does a lot more than just display the internal
logo, so it is somewhat unlikely that a damaged IO.SYS file would only cause a
problem if the logo was being displayed, and not cause a problem if the logo is
suppressed in MSDOS.SYS or through TweakUI. It is more likely by far that a damaged
IO.SYS file would halt the boot regardless of whether the logo was suppressed or
not. Of course, it *is* possible..... ;-)

The problem has corrected itself.
I am aware that without IO.SYS nothing would boot.
I don't have a file called logo.sys. Perhaps it was discontinued with win98.
The 2 other pictures are there logow.sys & logos.sys.

Thanks..

Actually, in Windows 98, if LOGO.SYS exists, it was inserted by a third
party, probably the vendor, to replace the logo stored in IO.SYS.

Placing a file called LOGO.SYS in the Windows directory overrides the
logo stored in IO.SYS.

Except logo.sys should be in the root of the drive, logos.sys and logow.sys
should be in the Windows folder. It/they also has/have some size and bit
depth restrictions.

Yup, you're right. Juggling too many similar filenames in my mind and
got that one wrong, <s>.

I think PJP and Hugh Candlin should be MVP's soon.

Thanks for the thought but unless free beta software is involved it really
doesn't matter, e.g. it's not why I both ask and answer.. That's how I got
my 10pc's 98SE liicense
