I know this is win9x section but theres no bios section and im not going to annoy the BeOS ppl like others do :)
In Bios theres a option "display fullscreen logo" when enabled to dose exactally the same as when its disabled "jack all"
:(The manual says it will enable Graphical logo insted of the normal text type starting screen but it dosnt work can anyone help ?
GFX card is geforce 4 MX 440 AGP
K7T Turbo 2 (pink)I checked google and could not find anything also emailed there tech support but never recived a response.
Thanks
In order to make this work (at least with AMI/Award), you'll have to make a bitmap image of the proper size required and then use the flash/update bios utility from your BIOS manufacturer to load it. The info on how to do this is usually available at the BIOS manufacturer's web site.

I allready flashed my bios but before i did i used awards LEEKED tool to inspect the bios and there was a Logo file already in the bios
640x480 i think (not the little EPA logo )

the logo in the bios is the MSI link to the future logo but when i enable it in the bios it dosnt do anything
is it posible the vga mode is incompatable ??
Thanks

Most likely the problem is in the bios programming. Whoever wrote the bios didn't adequately program that option. A future bios upgrade may address that issue.
Some bios upgrades will give the option of replacing the screen logo. Maybe something got messed up when you did the upgrade.
I remember noticing that on a computer I worked on awhile back. I always like to see the diagnostic posting screen so I'll go into cmos to enable that. But, as in your case, changing that option had no affect.
I've also had some where the option was reversed--you had to disable the diagnostic screen in order to get the diagnostic screen.

thanks for the advice
I will re-flash my bios and also try disabling the boot-logo to see if it works

Ok tryed that and still didnt work im going to try a older pci gfx card see if it works if not i think it will be incompatabilitys because the background is 256 color
windows 98/ME cant evan seem to get a generic 640x480 256 color driver (or i havent found one)so i dont think the bios will beable to do it well

ok tested it with a different card and it still didnt work :(

I doubt the video card is the problem. As far as I know the bootscreen is always a simple 640 x 480 with minimal colors, regardless of how fancy the video card is. It wouldn't be the video drivers either as they don't load until windows starts.

Dear Sir/Madam,Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
It's normal. K7T Turbo2 does not implement it.
Please feel free to let us know if you still have any further problem.

I guess the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.
What I find amazing is they actually responded to your question. That's got to be a first for technical support.
