Win Server 2008 x64 - should work?

from Stardock Forums
I have used LogonStudio on Vista x32 with no problems.  Today, I installed Windows Server 2008 x64 on another PC, and it is virtually identical to Vista - I even use Vista drivers in it.

But LogonStudio does not work.  When I hit apply, it "locks" the machine to show the new logon screen, but it's the same default one.

I realize this may be hard to track down, but I have not found any Vista software yet that does not work on Win  Srv 2K8.  Anyone have an idea what I could look for, maybe a File folder is missing or something? Any way to get mnore data on the failure?

Are you using LogonStudio or LogonVista?  Big difference.

Too bad . . was hoping for an easy fix.  ;)

Are there any rules on what JPGs it can use? I wonder if it is having trouble with the dimensions of the picture. This display is 1920 x 1200 and the photo is not, I assumed it would stretch it as I use it as my wallpaper...

Do the default logons work with it?
I've never done anything special for the images I've used.

If you mean the other image/projects that show that I can select and accept, no they do not work either.

So in summary (with one new thing I thought of), the things that may make my system unique and incompatible with LogonStudio Vista:

1. running on Windows Server 2008, which heretofore has been identical to Vista, even down to the device driver
2. It's a 64 bit system not 32 bit
3. It's a dual monitor system (this is new info)

Is this system compatible? Anything I can do to help test/debug?

Thanks

I have not heard anything back, but I am suspecting this is a problem with Windows Resource Protection in Windows Server 2008 maybe being different/more difficult to crack than Vista.
