boot logo problem

[Chewbubba]

I installed a star wars theme on my new Dell Optiplex at work (WinXP pro, SP2) and it changed the boot logo (the one with the blue 'busy' bar). That wasn't a problem at the time.

Now, however, I can't change it back. Changing themes was easy enough, but it didn't change the boot logo. There was no uninstall for the theme, nor any contact information.

I've even tried a System Restore to the earliest point it will let me, but the logo is still there.

I really need to get the original logo back. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting pretty desperate.

Problem solved!

Since there was no documentation in the theme folder of it's creator (shame shame), I installed the theme again hoping to see a reference during the install process. Sure enough, I did, and it was TopThemes. I contacted them, and they told me to install their theme manager and apply the default logo. I did, and it worked. Finally...
