Logonstudio XP not working

help plzz

Monday, June 8, 2009 by XFSpritz | Discussion: New Users

K so, when i open logonstudio xp it says before it opens: Logon Studio is no more registered as Logon Screen Editor. Do you want to register it? i choose yes becuase if i hit no it closes the program. and when i download logon skins and apply them in logonstudio it does nothing. when i first downloaded it, it would apply it i guess and then log me off but it would still be the same Windows XP logon. any ideas?

did you install LogonStudio to the default path or another path?

 

it's always worked for me in: C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\

 

with the unzipped logons in: C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\LogonStudio

if you got it somewhere else, open LS, click "options" on the left and you can change the address where the logons are stored

Thats where its stored - i have Firefox so it automatically installs it there. like when i chose a skin and hit apply nothing happens. i have my skins saved in the wincustomize folder too.

 

ie: 

 

C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\LogonStudio\name of skin (folder)

Try this....download a logon, rename the file from logon.logonxp to logon.zip.
Unzip the file and put the logon folder in C:\Program Files\Wincustomize\Logon Studio.

Then open Logon Studio. The file should be in the list and should work fine. If it doesn't, you have other problems not related to Logon Studio..very possibly the Vista theme pack.

 

 

you can ignore the Vista Theme Pack reference, unless........

Logon Studio is no more registered as Logon Screen Editor

That would indicate that you had another Logon changing program installed.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Logon Studio, that may work.

sorry i didnt reply until now - yes obviously i would check all this stuff before posting my problem lol.. ive tried unistalling and reinstalling multiple times, the logon skins DO go right into the studio and everything. everything you guys are saying i already did before i posted in here. its when i go to apply the logon skin IN logonstudio nothing happens - its like the button does nothing.

try:

 

moving your logons someplace safe

then download and run The Zapper  - then reboot and try a fresh install

 

if you haven't used the zapper before - you have to choose that which it zaps
