DO IT NOW! These are the files for your startup and shutdown screens:

4) Screensaver (by Richard Wolton):
***** LIGHT SPEED! Version 4 for Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0 *****
TO INSTALL:
To install the LIGHT SPEED! screen saver, run the included setup
program LS4SETUP.EXE from Windows as you would any program.
It will guide you through the installation process.
WHAT IS LIGHT SPEED?
LIGHT SPEED ! is a starfield screen saver that generates interactive
real-time starfield effects. It includes several different starfield
types and modes. With the interactive mode, you can fly it yourself
and explore the dozens of real-time controls which produce spectacular
effects and breathtaking displays. Take your desk top to infinity and
beyond ...
LIGHT SPEED! is FREE.
For the latest information, be sure to visit the internet web page at:
http://home.pacbell.net/wolton
REQUIREMENTS:
WINDOWS 95 or 98 or NT 4.0
486 or better.
VESA compatible graphics card (uses 640x480 w/256 color).
OPTIONAL:
Sound card. To control the volume, use the mixer that controls
your sound card.
LIGHTING:
To get the best effect from the software, make sure the brightness and
contrast controls of the monitor are adjusted for maximum brightness
with a dark black level. Best results are obtained in a dark room with
little or no ambient light. Some configurations are hard to see, unless
its very dark.
UN-INSTALL:
The setup program AND the screen saver, have automatic
UN-install functions. USE THEM, to un-install it.
To MANUALLY un-install it ... you need to remove the following
files. The files are shown as if they were installed using the
default directory c:\l-speed (Use your directory). [ NOTE: the
'registry' is not altered by LIGHT SPEED! ]
In your WINDOWS directory:
LIGHT-SPEED!.scr
LIGHT-SPEED!.ini
In c:\l-speed
s.exe
s.pif
pan.bin
version.dat
rumble.wav
readme.txt
remove.bat
<models> -all files in this sub directory
<sprites> -all files in this sub directory
<banks> -all files (and sub directories)
Providing you have used the default directory ( or created
your own for the exclusive use of LIGHT SPEED!), you can
simply delete the directory c:\l-speed ... and all the files
will be removed in a single step.
