Try reinstall Fancy Start from your drivers disk or download a copy from the Asus website.

I wonder if it's a resolution problem? I should try rescaling it first when I have some time tomorrow maybe after exams.

Did you reset your BIOS? As I mentioned in the guide, "If you have reset your BIOS using the "Restore Defaults" option, this may not work as BIOS defaults to Disabled."

last time I checked fancystart is enabled in bios.
I wonder how it works, I assume it converts it into a simple uncompressed image format . something that contains all pixels and their colors I doubt it's copied to the BIOS flash, probably somewhere on the hdd in the recovery partition zone and the BIOS knows the hdd address where to read it from?
my guess.

did anyone try FancyStart with a non-standard resolution image?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "non-standard" resolution, but FancyStart's max resolution is 1024X768, so any image smaller than that should work.

Another piece of bloatware added. This time it's the Amazon Kindle for PC app, pre-loaded on select Asus notebooks and netbooks.
