Hi,

Actually, I found that if you go into the System file on 7.5.5 and simply delete any PICTs which resemble the startup screen, it'll default to the old fashioned one. I don't know about 7.6.x, but I suspect the process is similar (I'll have to test that).

Incidentally, I even got it on OS 9.2.2! However, instead of simply deleting the PICT, I took a screenshot of Mini vMac, and cropped it to size, pasted it over the existing PICT, then, through some trial and error, I managed to align the progress bar with it's approximate position on the older OS. It wasn't perfect, but it worked :)

The problem is, I am not quite sure if I can remember how to do it again :O .

I'll see if I can remember, though.
