Startup animation

I want to change the startup anim. om my 7650, but it seems that it dont like to play my animated Gifs... I know it that they willl only play it once, but in my case they will not be played at all, when my 7650 starts up... If I wiew them later on my phone they work fine...
Am I using a wrong file format ? 😮

My guess is that since any chosen wallpaper and greeting message is converted to .MBM format (see c:\system\Data\welcomeimage.mbm and backgroundimage.mbm), the animated hands greeting is also multi framed .MBM file.

It may be possible to create an animated .MBM file and copy that to the location above and this will be the animation at bootup.

The TANKERx intervention is definitive and precise.
I don't found a mbm editor for PC.
Exist that thing?,
How I can get it?,
I don't have access to a psion pda.
How I can convert an animated GIF in a multilayer MBM?
Thanks

Ray thanks for the url. But I hadn't run it in the command line of Windows XP. suspect I don't know some information extra to run it in the command window. 😮
