Hey Preston... Many thanks for all the assistance. I have successfully replaced the boring Win2K startup screen on my system. Only way it would work was if I saved the colour table from the original and reduced the colour depth of my amended image to this saved colour table. I have placed a copy of my new image here. The Wahaaaaaaaaay! scrolls beautifully across the screen! Thanks again. Frank
