Not a clue mate, sorry.
But I'd like to know how to do it meself.. I've a quality Matrix Boot Screen that'd make an excellent wallpaper. Help!

If it's one of those win95/98 bootup screens you want as a wallpaper you're kind of in luck and out of luck at the same time.

A logo*.sys file is just a .bmp file renamed (good news)
It's got odd dimensions - scewed at 200*300 (or something) rather than a normal ratio where the width is greater than the height. (bad news)

Try renaming your .sys file to .bmp and you'll see what I mean. You could restretch it in Photoshop but the quality would presumably suffer.

tryed renamin but that wont work

tman

if you have paint shop pro, try browsing the folder that the .sys file is in...
c:\ if it's the win9x startup c:\windows\ if it's the wait/shutdown screens

tman

they're 320x400, not really worth converting, unless its for your sig or something small like that...
