    "ERROR, please help!"

    February 4, 2012  |   By Joe2496

    Version: LogonStudio 1.7

    Pros

    Nice software, does the job.

    Cons

    I have an error message (unhandled exception has occurred in a component of your application) that appears whenever I try to change my logon skin and I've tried almost everything to fix it (checked compatibility with firewall/ security program (McAfee), uninstalled and re-installed, etc.)

    Summary

    It's good software, but I need some help. If you can help, please reply and send me an email.

    Updated on Jul 6, 2012

    Well, somehow my issue fixed itself. Perhaps it was a system restore or a defrag...I'm really not sure, but it seems to be working fine for now.

    "It takes the boring out of Windows pics."

    December 27, 2011  |   By guillo97

    Version: LogonStudio 1.7

    Pros

    Lots of great pics and booting up and logging on is not as standard as it is with Windows.

    Cons

    Thus it is a short program, it runs a little bit slow.

    Summary

    I will always use it to make my pc interesting to see from a distance.

    "Easy! Easy! Easy!"

    December 21, 2011  |   By jjbrain

    Version: LogonStudio 1.7

    Pros

    Changing the logon screen is much easier than trying to do it using the "Windows 7 instructions" from Microsoft

    It is small and it is FREE!

    The window called "My logon screens" shows thumbnails of the various images available making it easy to choose one.

    There are images available for downloading.

    Cons

    Instructions are not the best. In fact they are pretty much non existent. Fortunately it is easy enough to figure out how the program works (it really is simple).

    Image choice is somewhat limited if you want to create your own (size and format)

    Summary

    This little program makes changing the logon screen really easy. It takes a bit of time and experimenting to get the hang of creating your own images (really just using your own photos and images). Once I got a "feel" for the program I had no problem getting it to work. The only real disappointment came when I found that some of the images I was hoping to use really did not work well as a background in the logon screen window (simple photos and images seem to work best). That being said the program is so easy to use that adding new images and photos to the possible choices is simple and quick. Try new pictures and if they don't work for you just delete them from the possible choices in the "My logon screens" window.

    "Lost without it"

    November 22, 2011  |   By dsw4rbrick

    Version: LogonStudio 1.7

    Pros

    Does what it says, unintrusive.

    Cons

    Confusing at first creating your own.

    Summary

    I'd be lost without this, it should be standard for Windows - the default logon screens are too bright and distracting. This does the charm, and it's free.

    "Uhhh... what happened??!!"

    June 2, 2011  |   By magicman98445

    Version: LogonStudio 1.7

    Pros

    Worked fine initially

    Cons

    Stopped working properly after 2 days.

    Summary

    Not sure what happened. The program installed and worked fine on my Win 7 64-bit OS. Then after two days it reverted back to default logon screen and LogonStudio can't change it...at all...to anything else!!?? I uninstalled/re-installed the software, but still doesn't let me change the screen from default. Looks like I'll try another product.

    able to change the boring default Windows 7 log on screen. You don't have to worry about fooling with dll's or patching or deleting default files. It's pretty simple to use.
