Startup and Shutdown screen problems

[Guest merwin]

So, I can't for the life of me change the startup/shutdown splash screens on my Dash. Basically, when I got the phone, the first thing I did was remove all references to the T-Mobile startup and shutdown sound and graphics (by clearing the value). Now, I'm trying to figure out how to get the startup graphic back. I got the default registry settings, quadruple checked them, and it's still not showing up. It just shows the ms_screen320.png for startup and nothing for shutdown.

Anyone have any clues?

This is the default settings (which are currently in my phone).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Startup]

"Image"="\\windows\\TMO startup.gif"

"WAV"="\\Windows\\T-Mobile startup.wav"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Shutdown]

"Image"="\\windows\\TMO shutdown.gif"

"WAV"="\\Windows\\T-Mobile shutdown.wav"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\2]

"Duration"=dword:000003e8

"Splash"="\\Windows\\TMO startup.gif"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]

"Dll"="\\Windows\\oemstartup.dll"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown]


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\2]

"Splash"="\\Windows\\TMO shutdown.gif"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\1]

"Dll"="\\windows\\oemstartup.dll"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Splash Screen]

"MSShutdownBitmap"="\\Windows\\ms_screen320.png"

"MSBitmap"="\\Windows\\ms_screen320.png"
