Well i had a look at the suggestions on that wiki page but... the remove splash screen patch gave me the jitters it had a warning on the dl page about content , there wa a redirect link but using that flagged avg to issue a warning bout content!!
This is unf because setting mp as shell caused it to crash and the resulting error message was hidden by a black box about the size of the MP splash screen....
from power on boot to mp is about 25secs but using 2 ssd's in RAID 0 for boot drive, really would like to get it faster!!

    In the latest SVN there seems to be a new splash screen that covers the entire screen. And it seems to use the same background as your active skin. So all you need to do to get a clean look, is to set that background as your wallpaper, and then install objectdock to hide the windows taskbar.

    Just right click on your taskbar>Properties>check Auto-hide the Taskbar
    and it will hide until you mouse over the bottom

    That isn't good enough for me atleast :)

    I hate having the little bar that's visible when you do that. Much better to "remove" it completely. If you need the start menu, you can open ith with the start-button.

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...
