Can't load Downloaded Logons

from Stardock Forums
Ok so I am having an issue. I download this logon
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=6988&libid=26

I open Logon Studio, Click Load, and then select the 1280 file.

But when I do this it does not add the file to the Available Logons list. And if I click Apply or Ok then it loads one of the default ones instead.

I looked through some of the other posts and I enabled Fast Switching and that didn't help.

If you know what the problem could be then please let me know.

Thank you

if the download file ends in .logonxp, try double clicking it

and maybe... to partially quote Boss:


rename the file from logon.logonxp to logon.zip.
Unzip the file and put the logon folder in C:\Program Files\Wincustomize\Logon Studio.

Then open Logon Studio. The file should be in the list and should work fine.

I just found this and did it,

When all else fails, rename the .logonxp file to .zip, unzip it, and put the logon folder (the one with .bmps, a uifile and theme.ini in it) in C:\Program Files\Wincustomize\Logon Studio.

Then open Logon Studio and it will be in the list of available logons. If it isn't, there either was another folder inside the one you put in the LS folder, or there's something wrong with the Logon itself.

Edit: Or..you need to reinstall LS, you aren't using XP....you're on a domain..you have a Linksys wireless adapter installed......


and it worked!

but yes, I did try double clicking on it and it didn't work either.

For reasons unknown to me, sometimes logons just don't load as they should. Logon Studio is a couple of years old and unsupported by Stardock anymore.

Most computers will work fine with it, but some don't.

Glad my method worked for you!
