Simple questions first. What security software are you running? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software yet? Trial or full version?

Whoops, sorry my fingers got ahead of my brain on that one. No there isn't   You can just get Logon Studio Vista.

As a matter of fact if you have not tried the uninstall/reinstall and you are not using Impulse you can get it from here:

http://www.download.com/LogonStudio-Vista/3000-2347_4-10696252.html?tag=Stardock&cdlPid=10696253

If you have Impulse I would highly suggest downloading and installing through there.

Hi TeeggerToo

Just a thought here, about a month ago i had the same problems with my SoundPackager under windows Vista 32. Stardock gave me the following support. It sounds like you have a corrupted Log-on screen( in my case sound package), please try deleting your store of Log-On screens(soundpackages), then restart app and redownload your favorite logons(soundpackages) or create your own.

Files found here:

Logon Studio Vista:

SoundPackager: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Stardock\SoundPackager\*.*

Cheers hope this helps

I tried testing this on a few boxes this morning and couldn't replicate this issue (all 64bit Vista). Giga has the right idea I am thinking now. Please try removing the login screens you have downloaded to a quarantine file. From there introduce them one by one and see if you don't find the one that is giving you trouble. Or as suggested you can delete them all and download ones that you want one by one.

That brings up the question that when you uninstall and resintall, with out introducing any new logons, are you able to get it working?

TeeggerToo, just to let you know you are not the only one with this problem. I experience the same on a clean Vista32 Ultimate installation, using Impulse. (And yes, Stardock support is working on my ticket).

Well, obviously I am. But I installed it from my English Vista Home Premium disk with the CD-Key of my Dutch Ultimate upgrade disks using the upgrade yourself trick (my 32-bit Ultimate disk was damaged). I'm running it in English although the Dutch language pack is installed, and I've installed every update Windows Update offered me, except for most other language packs.

Ok it's still not working but this is what I did.

I removed everything in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\LogonStudio Vista\Logons and the program still stops working during it's starting.

I invoked the program by double clicking a logonvista file, severel different ones. What did happen though is it did copy and convert the file into the proper place in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\LogonStudio Vista\Logons . This tells me that part of the program is working.

The error:

Description:
Stopped working

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: logonstudiovista.exe
Problem Signature 02: 1.0.0.5
Problem Signature 03: 4653894f

This indicates that possibly the problem is happening when it tries to load the windows form for the main program. Maybe there is a version issue of the main windows.forms library, just a guess. If I can supply more information please let me know.

Thanks all that are looking at this.

Welcome to the club. I can't get it to work on Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I opened a ticket a long time ago. They offered several attempts to make it work. Alas, it still doesn't work.   

I followed the link from Stardock's website at:

https://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/downloads.asp

I noted this in another thread. Please start up a formal ticket with us at support@stardock.com as we have not replicated this issue on Ultimate and SP1 yet. If you can please supply all system info.

Press and hold the Windows key, press R and type the following into the Run dialog:
dxdiag

Once everything loads, please click the "Save all information" button and attach the output file into the support email.

Thank you for your time.

Needed some time to re-install LogonStudioVista in order get the error report, but I finally submitted my ticked today.

Has anyone (anyone that has tried uninstalling and reinstalling Logon) that does NOT have Vista Ultimate been able to replicate this issue?

We have been doing some testing in support but nothing definitive has occurred yet. In some individual cases we have found solutions but nothing that would work for all.

For everyone that has this trouble please try the suggestion listed above this post.

You can find that download through here:

If this works for you please let me know so I can further test this error.
