Cant logon anymore

Monday, May 10, 2004 by Takroy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Well, i have been using LogonStudio for around5 days, and now this happens.
My logon screen has irricular white dots everywhere on it and the place where i user/write password and such is gone.
Thus, i cannot logon anymore!

Im currently writting from my Linux boot.

Anyway, is there a way to restore the old logon screen without going into windows? (like, configuring a file or deleting something)

This is urgent. (obviusly)

Boot to safe mode and restore default logon maybe.
Might at least be worth a try

Good idea!
Ehhh

Im actually more used to Linux, since i use Windows to play games, mainly.

How do I force windows (XP home) into safe mode?

Okay, found that out myself (thank god for www.alltheweb.com)

Anyway, it doesnt help, it still comes up with my newly created BSOD clone for the XP logon

It seems like you may have corrupted Logon Studio and created a real BSOD. Do you have any other Logon changing programs installed? They maybe conflicting with LogonStudio. I think there is a way to bring up a generic Logon Box using one of the common salutes. I'm not sure which one, but it has been mentioned with similar problems on the messageboard.

I just checked it myself. Pressing ctrl-alt-delete twice at the Logon screen will bring up the normal Logon window. You can get into windows that way to fix things.

Now writting from Windows!
The crtl-alt-del trick worked like a charm, thx Chas!

I just came home from school, checked in here first but if that solution wasnt there, i would have called a friend to bring his external hdd and copy my stuff, and then format the windows partition

BTW, found out what did it:
For no apperant reason, the skin i made and have used for the last 2 days without changing, had set the User Account panal size to 0%.
I didnt even know that was possible
