Problem with LogonStudio

error message pops up

from WinCustomize Forums

I mentioned about this problem before and someone suggested me to re-install my windows and update to SP2...

so I did! I re-installed my windows and updated to SP2. I have Windwos XP Home Version 2002 with SP2.

and when I apply my logons it pops up with error message...

it says

 

 

Parser Message

value creation failed" at line 8

 

 

so if I press ok then it pops up again for about 10 times, and then it goes to classic logon...

I thought this is logon theme problem, but when I change to other logon theme, it pops up with same message, but different number...

I really don't know what to do..

my bootskin, icons, windows blinds, cursorXP works fine, but not logons!!!!

someone please help me...

Are you using the English version of XP? Do you have a wireless router or adapter installed..possibly Linksys?

you could try re downloading the logon studio installation files, maybe the copy u have became corrupted somehow, might be worth a try

mine is English Windows XP Home 2002 SP2, but I installed language pack for Korean, and my default unicode is set as Korean. and I installed atheros wireless a/b/g mini PCI adapter

I would guess it's the default unicode being set as Korean...but I'm no expert at that sort of thing. I do know that Logon Studio will not work at all for Chinese and many other languages give a similar parser message.

Linksys wireless is known to be a problem with logons but I don't know about Atheros.

That's all I can tell you at the moment. Sorry.

wow!
it works

what I did is I changed every language systems (langauge inpu, unicode, non-unicoe) to English and run logon to apply theme.
it worked and I just changed my setting back to Korean, but still works!

I guess once it activated logons with English, it doesn't have problem with being Korean setting

thanks for the tip!

I never thought about it haha

Cool! It was a half educated guess, but I'm really glad it worked!

I've been having this problem for half year and you gave me a tip to fix it!

thanks!

I've got a similar problem but I don't know where to find the unicode and language options. Can someone point me to where they are. My error is on "line 34".

Ok I've got it now. I may be a noob/newb but I think I found out something useful to add for fixing this problem. You can use LogonStudios to make a logon from scratch but it requires either the skill to make a bitmap file picture or simply download a free logon like Boss'.

Here's the thing; you only need to copy one of the bitmaps, paste it where you want to save the file, and replace the picture that is in the bitmap with your own and save. The picture was opened in paint automatically for me and it turned out I didn't need Photoshop. This will give you your own bitmap but instead of ripping someone elses entire logon (Boss' or anyone elses) you can just use one file and create the rest in LogonStudios using the tutorial.

I did it and it worked so just for the people who are starting out and don't know how to make bitmaps (like me) that's one way of doing it. The specific editing of these things, like positioning, has already been covered by Boss in another topic.
