I am designing my own "Boot Screens" (Logon Screens) and "Welcome Screens" but need a few answers to a couple of problems I'm encounting!

1) How can I get the colors in the photos I am using to be less pixelated (meaning "more smooth and true to color" as the original photo being used?

2) How can I incorporate the words "Microsoft Windows XP Home" or "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" within my "Boot Screens" AND "Welcome Screens"?

Thanks for your help!

Appreciate any help you can offer!

^^ Just use a wallpaper containing the desired text and then use Tuneup Utilities to create the boot screen.
