Well, i downloaded and installed bootskin, and when i started it, it already pointed to the os/2 warp image... I clicked the standard one, and it just shows the normal xp boot now :)

here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YkGx2P3MQg

Sorry for the crappy quality, it IS youtube :P
I also left out the HP screen i get when i boot, it coems right before the os/2 screen, but my camera wouldn't take more then 40 seconds, and this is basically the best shot i got (what more can you expect from a camera designed to take pictures ^^)

I know the booting with windows shouldn't be possible... and there is NO way i could have installed from floppies as my pc doesn't even have a floppy drive, and i don't want to spend 30$ on an external one :D.

I'll try to film my pc booting and displaying the splash screen- i KNOW it shouldn't be possible, but it appears that it is :s. After i've filmed it, i'll try unplugging the disk. If it does stop displaying the os/2 screen, i'llfiddle around in the bios t un-boot the drive :P

oh and robert; noone i know uses os/2... I wasn't even entirely sure i could find soem expert anymore, isnce it dates from 2001, according to wikipedia :P.

Well, the logo displayed is exactly like this: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/startupshutdown/splash/os2warp4.png

Luckily it said IBM, otherwise i'd still be searching as to what it is ^^.

I had a boot manager, and installed linux in dualboot, but something went wrong so i had to use my norton ghost to recover my pc to a few days before i installed linux and the boot manager. As i said before, it worked fine for a few days and then started showing the splash screen when my pc boots. And saborion; it's not new, i've had it over a year(even tough some reinstalling occured inbetween;)). And pete; it's not hoax, i wish it were  :o.

By your description, the first thing I'ld ask for would be "is there a floppy or CD left in a drive?".
Second would be to check your Windows boot.ini (hidden) file to see if someone played a joke on you.

No floppies, no cd's, no SD cards... There is an external hard disk tough, but all it has is a couple of backup-ghosts and unused installers.

Umm i've noticed that, whenever i boot my pc, i get a new screen i never saw before. I have a HP computer, so it says "HP" at the first screen. Then it should stay black for a few seconds. Then windows should start. A few days ago, os/2 warp was in there, instead of the black screen. Trough googling, i at least know what it is, but i still have no idea HOW it got on my pc, as i never installed it. I can run windows perfectly fine, but i want to get rid of os/2, as it slows my booting down by at least 10 seconds... Could anyone help me in how to do it? And if someone know how this could have gotten onto my pc withotu me knowing it, that'd be usefull :P. Just one thing; i'm the only user of the computer, noone knows the password, noone is allowed to use it except me. Besides, my family couldn't install a os :P
