LogonStudio Problem

Tuesday, February 22, 2005 by DragonKid | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'm having a problem with LogonStudio on startup and I was wondering if anyone would help me out. I applied a skin I made myself, just to see how it would look, and now my computer won't let me logon! It keeps coming up with the following error: "Parse error ';' at line 173." I have tried restarting my comp in every possible way and I can't get rid of it! Worst of all, I can't logon to fix the problem! | I would appreciate the help!

Also, I would like a solution without wiping my hard drive. I have absolutely NO backups of anything on the drive itself! I would like a nicer solution to this annoying problem. Thanks!

You should try pressing F8 at the BIOS screen and boot up in safe mode, then disable logonstudio and use the default logon so you can boot normally and fix whatever the problem is.

Do like Bebi says to Switch over to another logon and restart your computer. Before you create a new one, redownload LogonStudio and create your logon while it's immediately open. It happens to me, too. I can't create a logon without having to re- install Logon Studio. That's a bass-ackward way, I know, but I have not found a fix.

whats the actual logon? that error says that something is wrong with the code in UIFILE.txt (missing something, etc).
i came across it alot when i was working out what variables/settings can be used when i was mucking around with logons.
cause you can either open up UIFILE.txt and scroll to line 173 and post it, or i can check it out (and fix it).

from loading a default logon, line 173 is the padding for the accounts (selected). maybe youve entered something other than numbers, or logonstudio screwed up the line?

I've already restarted in safe mode. It still comes up. Archangel, I can't get into my computer period. The farthest I get is that error message. I'm typing this on a seperate computer.

When it comes up, try pressing enter about 10 times (honest)

hm... so, no matter how many times you click on ok (or whatever), it still comes up?
cause its supposed to revert back to the windows 2000-style logon if the xp logon fails (for whatever reason) and displays the error message half a dozen times..

there is a way to avoid the xp-style logon, by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL or something.. but i dont think it would work if its displaying a message...

kinda stumped

I did press 'ok' until it brought it up, but now I have another problem. I get the foolowing message now: "The instruction at "0x027a116e" referenced memory at "0xec50ffff". The memory could not be "read"." At the top of the error message it says "MCI command handling window: winlogon.exe - Application Error". Now what do I do???

think logonstudio screwed something up.. restore the original default logon, and maybe uninstall and reinstall logonstudio.
then try loading a skin that works from wincustomize to see if logonstudio works at all on your machine

Thanks all for your help. My computer is back to normal now...at least I think so. This problem did help something on my comp though. Before this happened, my System Restore flat out refused to work, but after the problem was fixed, Restore works now. -_^ If only I could figure out how..........

New user here: Logon Studio does not register as being installed. It has reinstalled about 16 times. Theme Manager 2007 (I can't find an update button for that...) keeps saying it "noticed you don't have Logon Studio installed, would you like to install it now?"

 

I keep saying "yes" and am wondering how many copies I have. Also, after it has reinstalled itself it makes me logon to my computer with my computer administrator credentials. This is not comforting to a new user. WTH do you all need my login info for?

 

Very upset. Thinking this is massive spyware, malware, etc. Hate this. If someone can tell me why there aren't simple instructions to install this stuff instead of complex "gotta go to the forum and do everything the geeks tell you to do including getting into your system BIOS" because everything is that messed up, I'm ready to hear it. Please allow some time for me to answer. Thank you.
