give me a name of one of the logins you've downloaded so I can download it and see if I get the same thing.
Some older ones are exe's and .ui's and you have to import those so they will work...
also, sometimes you have to refresh the list before newly added ones will show up....

Try it this way:
Open Logonstudio, click the button marked "load". Browse to where your downloaded logon file is and highlight it and click "open". It should appear in your list of logons now and you just have to highlight it in the list and hit apply.
Works for me!

KISS seems best bet almost always
Heck, I downloaded every single logon and they all installed fine... well a couple had files missing *.ini files...
I'll have to go back through them before I delete them and make a list of which ones and up it so they can be checked out and the authors informed for a fix if needed..

Try talking to your computer, Love your computer, just don't love it too much. It might work for you
Just don't kick or hit it, it gets angry and won't work.

I don't have the time at this moment to dig into this deeper, but will later ronight...
I am willing to bet though, that it is a configuration issue on your end in WIndows XP...
such as your system is not set to use the Welcome screen when you logon but instead the classic Logon which is not going to work with LogonStudio if I am correct in my thinking and so LogonStudio wouldn't be registered as you Logon Manager, which might have something to do with registering new logons into it...
I'll play some more tonight and see if I can recreate it on one of my systems and let you know what I find if anything on it...
In the meantime someone else might very well figure it out faster I'm a bit slow at times, so do keep track of peoples impute and attempt what may be presented because there are a lot more people here that know it better than I do by a long shot..

try this for me....
you've got the .logonxp files you've downloaded in a directory/folder you know the location of correct?
go to that folder, left click once on one of the logon packs, and then right click on it and select rename from the popup menu. change only the extension, change it to "zip"
once it has changed, double click on it and either you cpomression program of choice, WinZip, RAR, or Windows will open the zip file and show you what is located in the zip...
ok, now open a second windows explorer window and browse to your C:\program files\wincustomize\logonstudio folder
right click on it and create a new folder and name it to the name of the logon pack, not with the extension, just the name before the extension... once it is created, go to your other Windows Explorer where you have the zip file open and then right click on the top file, and then hold down your control key "CTRL" and then left click the bottom file so all are highlighted, once all are highlited with the control key still held down, right click again and then select copy.
no go back to the other Windows explorer window, open up the folder you just created and the right click and click "paste" on the popup which shows itself...
this will put all the files from that logong into the folder ready to be installed....
Load Lgonstudio and if does not show up as a lodable logon, then refresh list and it should now show itself... and be able to be used, seems some are actually names .logonxp and are really .zip files from what I've read in the support news-group for LogonStudio and this is what others who run into this same issue are told to try and it seems to work...

Then, go to the folder where that file is. It should have a .logonXP extension. Simply double click on this file and it will be *installed* in the correct folder for these things. Then, open LogonStudio.exe. Your new theme should be showing in the list. Select it and click apply. That *should* do the trick.
