I am using Primo 2.4 for Win CE 6 and am trying to change the loading screen. I have changed all the loading.bmp inside the data.zip for all resolutions then zipped back up using winrar 3.9 but still no luck. It loads halfway then reboots and cycles all over again. Ive noticed in the original data.zip properties that the Host OS is Dos,Windows and for the new Data.zip that I have created the Host OS is only Dos. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Don't mess around with the data.zip...

Take note of what Fatboyfun says, and read the link, but if you just want to replace the existing loading "* .bmp" files here is a simple procedure. But always, before you start, make of copy of your existing files, in case you mess it up.

You don't change loading screens, or anything else, for that matter, in "data.zip" files, by un-zipping, doing your changes, and then re-zipping, either using Winrar or other compression programs. It does not produce the correct compression for Primo to read it. Hence your system is hanging up during boot-up.

What you do is, you open your "data.zip" file in Winrar, go to the appropriate folder, for "loading files" it is "ui_igo9" >> "the appropriate resolution file", and drag an drop your new file(s) into it. Close Winrar. It will ask you if you want to save, and/or over-write your existing file(s). Answer yes, and it will do the rest.

Good luck.

I tried your advice but received the " cant find 800x600 file". I thought maybe it had something to do with the bitmap file so I tried to use iPAQ 31x Image Explorer to convert it to a RLE Bitmap from RGB. It just crashes during the encoding process.

Is your device 800x600?

Figured it out .Minor brain cramp .Thanks for the help.

Would you like to share the procedure you used in case another member is stuck...

I just used a Rolling Stones image I took from the internet. Just make sure the size is the same as the one you are replacing and give it the same name. Loading.bmp

After looking in some graphics file's and there i saw that for example the loading . bmp in fact a jpg file is and it is renamed in bmp
