    I bought a nice HP laptop, but I can't figure out how to remove the damn compaq splash screen that you see every time I turn it on. I changed the boot screen, I changed the login screen, but inbetween is this stupid looking Compaq screen that I wanna delete. Any ideas?

    As far as I know it is in the BIOS - so short answer is, you can't remove it.

    go into your bios
    f1 i believe
    then move to where it says Boot
    enter
    enable boot-time diagnostic screen
    then hit f10 save settings and exit
    when it says are you sure
    hit yes
    you should be all set
