Standard sizes for Windows splash screens

Question

Is there a standard splash screen size or set of guidelines for the size of a splash screen? This is for a music-playing application for XP and Vista.

Answer 1

I found this Microsoft article in the UX guidelines for Windows apps: Guidelines for splash screens.

It mentions this sizes:

Scale   Image size (pixels)

1x      620 x 300

1.4x    868 x 420

1.8x    1116 x 540

Answer 2

I use my splash screen as my login window. I just use 550X400 for my splash screen size as that is the size of standard wizards.
