Did you put the downloaded logon files in the appropriate folder (C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\LogonStudio\)?

You can also open LogonStudio > then click Load > find the .logonxp > and open it from there.

I usually just right click them and open with LS.

Did you ever get LS working, I 'm having the same problem; I can load .logonxp files with no error messages but then nothing...

Im having the same problem as above, I downloaded the .logonxp file and opened it with LogonStudio and loaded it and applied it. I've restarted my computer several times to see if it works and it just goes to the default Logon Screen the Microsoft gives you.
Is there something that im doing wrong here??

I Have this problem.

They load and they go in the list, but they dont apply properly. When I click apply and it takes me to the logon screen for a preview, it's the same old XP logon. Sorry to bug you, but yeah I really wanna get this working.

Edit:- Also the trial ones don't work

If the trial ones are working, then:
possibly,
something borked on install (unstall, reboot, redownload a fresh one, install, try the ones that come with it) or
you're not running XP or
or you're on a domain (doesn't work on domains)

What the troll said. They also won't work on 64 bit.

Hey i had the same problem. Rename the xxxxxx.logonxp file to xxxxx.zip Then open it up coppy all of the files in there to a new folder in C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\LogonStudio you can name it anything you want. as long as all of the files are copied there it should work without a problem
