How do I get rid of my old boot screen?

Ok, so a while back i got bored of seeing the same of windows xp boot screen and i downloaded a program that let me change my boot screen, i found 1 on the internet that i liked and downloaded it and used the program to implement it. since then i have removed the program and dont remember what it is called, but the boot screen stays the same. it hasnt bothered me until today when i installed TuneUp utilities 2009 and tried to change my boot screen. when I attempt to change the boot screen using tune up it says that the boot screen i selected is 'active'. so i restart my computer to find that the boot screen is still stuck on the old one that i dont know how to remove, any help with this issue will be greatly appreciatedHow do I get rid of my old boot screen?
It is possible to do this, actually there are several ways to do this, but they all involve modifying the Windows boot.ini file and using an application that will assist in modifying the image that loads. I've provided several links that explain this process;

That boot screen is a file of some type on your computer (mostly likely a bmp file). Find the file and rename it so that Windows will not be able to find it on the next bootup and it should revert to the default screen for you.
