Logon Studio Not Working On Windows 7 64bit

from WinCustomize Forums

I installed LogonStudio on my Toshiba Satellite laptop which has Windows 7 Home Premium, 4Mb of memory, 64-Bit OS, and a fast processor.

After the install through Impulse with no error message nor any problems with the install visually, I ran Logon Studio and tried to apply one of the logons that comes with logon studio. After clicking the apply button, Logon Studio takes you to the logon screen of ones computer to see the applied logon, but nothing changed, it did not apply the selected logon. Each time I applied any of the logons nothing happens, its still the Microsoft logon screen.

I dont know what the problem is and I hope some one here can help me with issue.

Thank You

LogonStudio used to work seamlessly on my past laptop. Recently, I bought a new desktop and after installing LogonStudio it didn't work. Odd, I thought? After searching for a fix, simply changing windows/system32/oobe/info/backgrounds/backroundsdefault.jpg to backgrounddefault.jpg.bak worked instantly.

Thanks for the assistance Koasati.

Sweet! I've been reinstalling programs after a recent hard drive failure, and LogonStudio would not work. Then I remembered I had to change something the last time. But what? Came here, did a search, and helped myself.

Just wanted to thank yu so much... I've been trying to fix this prob and it is now working... thanks to you.  I renamed the file (.bak) and it works... 

Sometimes, a forum search has exactly what you need. ;)

To fix this properly do this.


  • Go to Start->Run and type in regedit.
  • Back up your registry using File->Export.

  • In the tree on the left, navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

  • Double-click on the OEMBackground key and change its value to 0.

  • Click OK.

The logon screen background will now change as expected.

I was having the same problem (Win7 64bit). Stardock Support had me try numerous things, but nothing worked. After more than 2 weeks of trying one thing after another, SD Support gave up.

Eventually, I found the default background hidden away in System32\oobe\info\backgrounds. Changed the name to backgroundDefault.jpg.bak, and LogonStudio starting working.

I just made an account to tell you a big THANK YOU, because this's my first time using W7 and, hell, I started to panick when Logon didn't work :P
