Why were all the customization abilities removed from XP?

Works great in W7

works okay for me in W7

No can do, the only thing this version of LogonStudio can do is change the background image. Yet again another alpha-release from Starmock... :SNIFF!:

I must say that I can only agree with Yrgal. Did someone really test this at Stardock before they unleased it on their customers???? On XP, it just changes the background and nothing else and makes your logons look like a piece of crap. Was this supposed to be a beta or alpha release?????

It is intended just to change the background of the logon in XP, just as it does with Vista or Win7. There are links out there to the XP version if you prefer, but as XP is a legacy OS the focus going forward is newer operating systems.

So let me understand . This new Logonstudio, changes only the picture, that is it...no changing fonts, words,  etc.?  And this is true for XP, Vista and Win7?  Where is the fun the creativity?  

MS prevents much customization of the logon in Vista and 7 so Stardock did the best they could with what they had with those.  If you want to do more with  XP you will need to use the legacy versions of LogonStudio.  For many, many users, just changing the background is better than nothing and good enough.

I have XP, if I download this, paste an image in it , will it also work on Vista and 7 ?  Or the reverse if I have Vista or 7...will the logon work in all three?

So where is this legacy version located so I can download it? Not that I use LogonStudio right now....but it would be good to have a working version for XP in case I decide to use it in the future. Just because there is this bashing of XP going on now doesn't mean it's a crap OS...it works just fine for many of us. It's a shame it's getting kicked to the curb again.

The links I see and found leading to LogonStudio say "everything" can be customized for all 3 OS's but from what I'm reading here that isn't so.

Looks like you CAN"T randomize Logons with this version. Am I correct? If so. I'll just keep the version I have.

I'm back on the old XP version of Logon Studio as the new release doesn't work on my XP Media Center Edition at all. All I get is the blue standard XP logon screen. So much for improvement.

XP is a "legacy OS" is it? Interesting!! When XP is still the prodominant OS in use throughout the world ?? Whilst this new release is compatitable with XP, the truth of the matter is this latest version is a backward step for XP users with little or no abilities to control or apply forms of customization. No worries, back to the old version on my XP laptop and for those that will surely follow you can download the old version here http://download.cnet.com/LogonStudio/3000-2344_4-10328443.html   

Reply #14 Leo the Lion you had better lucke then me i can not download it at all i have all the stuff from s.d the update inpulse say it not cap. to you system stardock shoul d look at it again i am an XP user too (:(  (:( 

Logon Studio 1.0.64

:HOT: Yrgal!!

Those links seem to be going to this new version now. I want the old version please.

The link YRGAL put up is to the right one (thanks) but I have a cluster **** mess, now. I wish I had read on before I installed the "new" LogonStudio. My old Logon is showing (through old version) but I cannot access the gui. I have uninstalled the new one but the new gui is what shows when I click on my old icon and the icon for the old version I installed from YRGALS link. Now what?

Just uninstall any logonstudio version that you have on your PC. Reboot your PC and install either one from my link or Yrgal's link

also try using Ccleaner to sort out the registry

Old XP only Logon Studio: WWW Link

On XP you can have both installed, just set one to default Windows logon (which turns it off) then you can use/run the other.

I have tested this on XP Home SP3.

So those on XP can make logons for XP, Vista and 7.

tried out that older version, and I didn't get it at all. However, with 1.7, I was able to change the image to whatever I wanted in seconds. (The text I had to do a hack of the x.exe file, but no biggie.) There are two issues, though.

- there is still a portion of the original welcome screen, as shown here:

- and when shutting down, there is that, plus the "Windows is shutting down" text is inside a small blue box, overlaying the 'wallpaper'. (I would also like to change the text, but don't know what file that is in.)
