I have used both bootskin and logonxp for over a year. Recently, I had some minor problems when rebooting but nothing major. Then, yesterday, when starting my computer, it wouldn't even get past the point of Vaio screen to the actual boot screen. I would manually shut off the computer and get to the choices of safe or normal modes. If I tried normal, same result, "Vaio" and stops. So, I finally went into Safe mode and opened the program, and returned to the default, boring boot. Then, it would get to my desktop. BUT, nothing functioned. For example, if I double clicked on Firefox (or any other program, for that matter) I got no response whatsoever. Went back to safe mode and opened logonstudio. Reverted back to the same old boring welcome screen. After the return to both these boring defaults, the computer works as normal.

First, why would this happen after such a long period of time? Second, is there any "fix" for this? I would really love to return to using the terrific bootskins/logons a lot of you create, but have no idea how to fix this situation. I'd hate to have to "bite the bullet" and return to those boring bootscreens/logons. Any help would be appreciated.
