    No windows logo when booting


    I am running a VERY slightly modded version of 7 as it was the only one I could find. I have noticed that people say that when booting they see a windows logo. I see the vista-like loading bar, then the log-on screen?
    Can I change this, or is there a reason for it?

    The reason is that you did an upgrade from Vista rather than a clean install...

    I can see where your coming from.
    I was running XP, but there was this recovery thing 'TechGuys' (from pc world) that when I started did the vista loading bar. Linux also recognises my xp as vista (loader). Can I have the windows logo or am I stuck with this?

    Just read on another forum that you have to have a screen resolution of 1024x768 or more for the orb.
    Mine is 1024x600
