Thanks for that but mine seems to be a different beast. Also no idea what the password is. I tried 0000 and 1234, to no avail.

Do you mean something like this? I put this together and edited the software to do it. The file can be .bmp or .jpg and I used 800 x 480 pixels.



EDIT (the details)

When iGO or Primo is loading its software, a splash screen appears. This is just a .jpeg image.
This image has the filename 'loading.jpg' or 'loading.bmp' and is kept in the user interface folder ('UI' in folder name).
Change the 'loading.jpg' or 'loading.bmp' to one of your choice at the appropriate resolution (800x480 pixels).

In Primo2, the actual image used during the program load is the one here:
Primo2\branding.zip\UI_IGO9\800_480\loading.bmp

There are 'loading.bmp' files in several '800x480' folders scattered around the programme.
I have replaced all these with my own Rover_Loading _Software image and deleted all the folders of smaller sizes.

Yes I did. As it turns out, you can only do it via the remote control on the WinCE units, which I didn't have. So I had to order a remote from Jeff (Coolcat) and Sean (Radioguy).

When that arrived, I did the following which I found on another post that I cant find now. Anyhow I have added some missing info;


1. You will need the picture you wish to use as your logo saved with a resolution of 700x480 pixels, as a .JPG or .BMP file on a Micro SD card in the left hand card slot or on a memory stick in the usb port.

2. Place a DVD in the drive and press setup on the remote

3. Scroll down to CHANGE LOGO and highlight ON, press OK and EXIT MENU.

4. Press the MODE button until you get to the SD card or USB and press on the screen the picture icon and select the picture you want for the logo,if you only have pictures on your SD card/USB they will display automatically so just press pause when the one you want is displayed.

5. When the picture is displayed press ST/PROG (under the down arrow) on the remote and the screen will show SAVING LOGO.

That's it, all done!
