Trouble Creating Boot Screen

from WinCustomize Forums
I have created a boot screen, and everything looks like I think it should. I looked at several of the others as examples. It let's me apply it, but when I reboot, I get a 4 bit version of the default windows boot screen.

The bootskin.ini file I am using looks like this:

--------------------------
[BootSkin]
Type=0
Name = "Boot Screen Name 1.0"
Author = "My Name and screen name"
Description = "boot screen description"
ProgressBar=ProgressBarFilename.bmp
ProgressBarX = 241
ProgressBarY = 420
ProgressBarWidth = 200
Screen=ScreenFilename.bmp
--------------------------

The ScreenFilname.bmp file is an 8 bit (16 color) 640x480 bitmap file. and the ProgressBarFilname.bmp file uses the same colormap as the ScreenFilname.bmp file.

The app I used to create the images is Photoshop 7.0.

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

The bmp's have to be 4 bit, otherwise , everything else looks ok.

Thanks crissy14, that fixed my problem. It works just fine now.

Now my only problem is that when I tried to upload it to this site, I got the following error:
