I know this is an old dead thread, but I foudn the correct answer to this question today. The OEM flash screen is in the MSCONFIG. Click "Start-Run" and type MSCONFIG. Under the system.ini tab, expand the bott menu by clicking the + sign. Remove the checkmark beside the entry oemfonts.fon=vgaoem.fon Be sure to click apply, then reboot when prompted. No more OEM splash screen! And no BIOS change either! :eek:
