To anyone who has used Splash Screen Changer by Christopher Trew (not able to reach him via e-mail). I have placed the SSC.exe and the folder containing four splash screens into my main FS9 folder, then ran the SSC.exe. It copied one of the screens into my uries folder replacing the existing dlgsplash. I'm trying to get the splash screens to alternate as they should. Is there a step I'm missing?

It looks like you have to use his .exe every time you launch FS, is that what you are doing?

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Joebe, Do you mean creating a shortcut and using it to open FS9? I'll try that. Also, do you know if you can use more than 4 screenshots?

It sounds as if you did things correctly.

Use HIS shortcut or create a shortcut yourself to his SSC.exe file. That shortcut should be on your desktop. Clicking on this shortcut will change the screen and automatically start FS2004.

As far as I know you can have as many screens in that folder as you wish. I just tried another package from another site which has his SSC included and it has 30 pictures which rotate randomly.

EDIT ADDED: Also remember this is a "randomizer" so you may get the same splash screen several times in a row - they do not change sequentially as you may have expected.

To JoBee, ApplePie and Opa, thanks for the help. I've got it set up now as a desktop shortcut (renamed as FS2004) and it's working fine. Finally I can display all my homemade splash screens. I'm truly greatful, J.P.
