Recently I released a boot screen for Windows XP which looks similar to Windows 7 boot screen:
Download Windows 7 Boot Screen for Windows XP
A few people requested for a similar boot screen for Windows Vista and I'm glad to announce that its available now.
I have created another boot screen for Windows Vista users which looks very close to Windows 7 boot screen:
There are some limitations with Windows Vista boot screen and we can't have a moving progressbar in the boot screen. So the glow inside the progressbar will not move.
You can download the boot screen from following link:
Download Windows Seven Boot Screen for Vista
Extract the ZIP file and you'll get following 2 files:
- winload.exe.mui
- VistaVG Seven Boot Screen for Vista.tbs
You can use any of the 2 files to enjoy the new boot screen.
1. If you want to use "winload.exe.mui" file, then you'll need to replace existing "winload.exe.mui" file present in "%windir%\System32\en-US" folder with this new one.
First take permission of "winload.exe.mui" file present in "%windir%\System32\en-US" folder using following tutorial:
Add Take Ownership Option in File / Folder Context Menu in Windows Vista
Now rename the file to "winload_backup.exe.mui" or any other name and copy the new "winload.exe.mui" file in this folder.
Now type "msconfig" in RUN or start menu search box and press Enter. Go to "Boot" tab and select "Microsoft Windows Vista" entry. Now enable "No GUI Boot" option and apply it. Restart your system to take affect and enjoy the new boot screen.
2. If you want to use second file "VistaVG Seven Boot Screen for Vista.tbs", then you'll need Tuneup Utilities to apply it which is very safe and easy to use.

I downloaded the winload.exe.mui file, but I dont know which file to rename. In the System32 file, I have two winload.exe.mui files. One file is "C:\Windows\System32\Boot\en-US" and the other file is "C:\Windows\System32\en-US." Which one do I rename?

I am trying to apply the bootscreen but it is not working. I did exactyly what you said and i put it in system 32 and stystem32/en-US but neither are working, it still goes back to an aurora bootscreen. I even did a custom reformat for this and it still did't work. That means I installed a new copy of windows.

Hi vishal! I have a suggestion.! Can you create an animated progress bar of windows 7 either in .bmp or .gif and it will be used to create a manual bootscreen using tuneup styler.
Maybe it would work.
Thanks. This site is very informative.

Wonderful Job!
I tried it both ways: Do it manually and to use TU2008!
It worked but...
I hope an animated version would come up quickly...
If it is it would be awesome x10000!!
Yes. I did think of making this into an animated gif then
use TU to use the gif, but TU wouldn't support gifs...
