Downlaod the BMP file and save the file at suppose D:\ drive and then open regedit and goto:

Can anyone give some tutorials for StarDock Logon Studio with the logon theme given by Vishal Gupta....I am absolutely unaware with this application...

Also I have unzipped the package from Devian Art..It contains LogonUI and LogonXP...what are these two files meant for..??Vishal you have said to replace Logonui original with the one provided in the package..so suppose if I don't want to have the new look ..then can I replace the new(in package) with the old one..if i save that file separately in other place....(apart from using System Restore)..

what is the difference between logonui(small) and logonui(large).??

First install LogonXP
then extract the logon file from deviant art
open logonXP
click on load
browse to folder where you extracted the file
go to logonXP folder
Click on one of those two file
then click on apply

browse where you extracted the files
go to logonXP folder in those files
click on one of the two files

Suppose I don't liked that..then to restore the earlier setting..just I have to apply "Restore Orginal " in the application..

Hey Buddy,
The boot screen displays correctly, animates fine and all goes as expected
until the moment when Windows is meant to appear, instead I get an instant reboot…………
Deactivating bootscreen (Last know Recent User Configuration that worked ) allows me to reboot as normal.
So wht is the cause behind this?

Exactly the Same thing happened to me also. I removed the bootskin thingy. there is some fault with the bootskin i believe

 

[shyamno]

I have applied the Vista Loginn Screen through StarDock logonStudio but it seems to be not working...I have one account(administrator) and the password option is unchecked while login ..does that causing the problem...or else there is anything else to be done..

Also I want to know when this screen would appear ??

Please anyone help me out..
