LogonStudio Help Please
Friday, June 11, 2004 by Firedogs Ron Son Jose | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
O.K., something happened and I cleaned out LogonStudio software and reinstalled now only having the three (3) initial logons (i.e., welcome1, welcome2, and welcome 3). Memory does not remember how to get a new downloaded logon into the LogonStudio window. Need instructions if you would be so kind.

Its not a difficult program. Your problem might be in the usage of the internal XP zip manager. Try winzip. There use to be a free version. I never use the internal zip manager because it is a headache. Let winzip handle your zip files. You shouldn't even have to change the default set up of winzip. It will handle all zips itself by the default install.

if logonstudio refuses to load the .logonxp files you can try opening them with an archiver and extracting the files
to do this make a new folder in your logonstudio directory and extract the files from the .logonxp file to it
logonstudio can then see the logon screen.
winace can open the .logonxp as if they were any other archives
p.s why doesnt firefox work with this message board >

I actually had trouble loading a logonxp file recently. I double clicked it and the name appeared in LogonXP but nothing below in the preview pane. Similar to your problem. I even tried reloading it from Logon Studio. Finally, I just changed the extension of the original to zip and unzipped it. It seems that the author created two logonxp files, one for 1280 and one for 1024. After unzipping it, I double clicked on the 1024 logonxp file inside. And, it installed properly.
The logonxp should install and show the preview once it is double clicked. If it doesn't then you have a similar problem to the one I had above. You can normally reload it from the logon theme directory. If this doesn't work then change the original logonxp extension to zip and double click it to see the contents. If there is a logonxp file in the zip, then this is the problem. Extract that logonxp file, then double click the file. It should now install properly.
Basically, the LogonXP program itself is very simple. It is just a matter of learning how to work with zipped archives. I prefer Winzip.

or u could right click the .logonxp file (you may have to hold the shift key while doing so)
then goto openwith and your zip program.
Changing the extenstion would only work if you have the options to hide extenstion of known filetype off in folder options of my computer (or any browser window e.g one showing c:\)
then goto openwith and your zip program.

Hopefully we can resolve this. No program should be this difficult. Bootskins load without any problem.
