Help with LogonXP

When you download the LogonXP files you have two options. One, putting the files in the correct folder yourself, C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\Logon Studio... or...Two opening Logon Studio and selecting "Load" then finding the file.

After you have done this correctly try applying. If you still encounter the error then I would suggest reinstalling.

Other than that, just to make sure, are you editing the UIFile at all? This can cause many problems if you haven't followed the correct syntax.

Can you give an example of a Logon that didn't apply?

i am in the same boat but i dont know where to go after downloading the logon file...ive tried to get it in the logon studio using the load button but its like its not a file and it wont recognize the logon file...so i cant even edit it when i click edit it says somethign like error "76" or somethign then path not found... i have no idea what that means
any help would be appreciated...my email is [email protected] if you could email me someinfo that would be great...Thank you

ive tried to get it in the logon studio using the load button but its like its not a file and it wont recognize the logon file

Post the exact file extension of the downloaded LogonStudio File.

so i cant even edit it when i click edit it says somethign like error "76" or somethign then path not found

Now I'm really confused...you CAN get the logon to load into LogonStudio, but it won't apply the logon when you select Apply?

Any error would be contributed to the UIFile, which I don't suggest attempting to edit unless you're familiar with the syntax.

I didnt mean i was tryin to edit it but i wanted to see if i could even get to that stage but it didnt work... Here is what i did: Downloaded file from wincustomize, then saved it in C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\LogonStudio, then opened logon studio and clicked load, found the file and at the top of the logon studio program where it says available logons and under that is says current: after i had loaded the file it said current:scarfa (the file i downloaded...) and in that window where all the other logons are it wasnt there... what do i do now? The file that i downloaded says its a logond studio document...

The folder that you put in the Logon Studio folder can't be a .zip file or a .logonxp file. If you click on the "scarfa" folder, inside of it has to be the .bmps, uifile, and theme.ini. If you click the "scarfa" folder and there is another folder inside of it, click on that folder and if you see the .bmps etc, THAT is the file that needs to go into the Logon Studio folder. LS won't see the files if they are inside a second folder or a .zip file.

Hope that helps.

k so this is what happened i clicked the downlaod button for a logon and it asked me to open or save... i saved it to my documents...but its not a folder its just a file and its a logonxp file i thikn but when i click properties on the file it just says logon studio document...so im not even sure...but as i said its just one file and from the sounds of what boss0190 said it should be a folder with .bmps and uifile, and theme.ini? i have no idea...cause when i dled it it was one file... nothing .zip as far as i know...maybe if you run trough every step in detail maybe i missed somethin...and try not to assume anything cause im not a computer wiz...dont mean to make that sound arrogant or mean or anythign...any help has been and will be much appreciated.

A .logonxp file will when double clicked self install the logon.

A logonxp file is actually a renamed 'zip'.  The suffix is changed from '.zip' to '.logonxp' so that the installed LogonXP program will recognize it as a logon.

Sometimes the uploads are actually a logonxp file [archive] within a zip...and thus needs to be extracted to work...

What i did to get it to work was make a folder under Wincustomize/Logon/ for example
Wincustomize/Logon/Vista/ then opened the logonxp in winrar and extacted all the files in it to the new Vista folder.. worked.

hi i created my own logon xp but when i install this logon the system say me this value creation failed in to line 14 somebody help me can write me at [email protected] thanks

Make sure the image you used for the center panel is a true bitmap and not a .jpg or .gif that you renamed to .bmp.
Open it in Paint or whatever graphics program and save it as a bmp. (.bmp 100) That should take care of the problem.
