it would seem Sony needs something kicked & a few heads butted together to cause such worldwide stress + concern for Laptop owners & humbling & embarrassing the top Laptop manufacturers....Dell, Toshiba, Apple should bring a class action lawsuit against Sony for negligence & poor industry stewardship

the Google png is found in the default docklets search pngs loaded when installing ObjectDock, Paul Boyer probably being the designer; the Firefox icon is by a Russian artist found in the Object Dock Library under Firefox, luckily enough;Neville has used an assortment of the best icons over the last 3 yrs so you may have to peruse each page in the vast ObjectDock png library over the last 2 yrs at least, probably about 30 pgs or more into the library - lastly, the Weather Widget in the lower r

I empathise Jayman....since 'restoring' my Lap 2 weeks ago to freshen apps & update for a fresher C drive, I have been unable to use my LogonStudio or Bootskins....the only way to get a bootscreen I like is to use the one from my Vista Transformation Pack 5.o1 & I can only use the Welcome screen option...if I check password, I get the sterile blue Windows screen w a Logon Window...Bichur tried to assist me w this on the weekend to try & resolve this mystery, but I have recently discovered anothe

it would seem some are still in a time warp of like 10 yrs ago when almost everything on the Net was 'free' due to the magnamimity of the times & are shocked & very dismayed discovering that'the times they have a changed';others have a credo of 'never paying for anything' - what eludes them is in this capitalist society it takes developers who put many man hrs into the engineering & development of said product + Web Hosts & specialty sites that incurr the costs of bandwidth for Web hosting -

I had the same experience recently JC after having to do a 'restore' on my Satelite Notebook...had to give up on both Logon Studio + Bootskins but figured it was because of either Microsoft Windows strict GDI security patches or a Vista Customization Suite I installed but the Suite is well worth the opportunity cost; Logon + Boot DID work flawlessly on my Toshiba for a yr - see the thread from yesterday re Bootskins & Logon Studio not working in the Windows XP category

k...I think in my instance it is my Vista Transformation pack 5.o which re-writes some Window protection dialogues;this all occurred when I had to restore my Lap due to it slowing down due to obsolete apps I used for Spyware & Registry maintenance i.e. PC Tools Spyware Doctor + Registry Mechanic, which for a yr + a hlf thought state of the art; & after 'restoring' the OS with the Toshiba OS disc, Bootskins & Logon Studio would no longer load the skins I have been using for quite some time;I back

have done that exactly Boss to no avail....I figure it's the Windows security update w regard to the GDI or the Vista Customization pack v 3.6 that writes over the Windows protection dialogues...all in all it does seem odd, yes

thx for the detailed feedback Bichur;might try the several account approach as you are suggesting but really the Boot & Logon customizations aren't that important to me really;was just curious why this would be the case after 2 yrs of faultless use....just pleased every other Stardock customization I own like WB, Window FX, Iconpackager, ObjectDock & Object Bar work flawlessly;could never endure a default Windows interface at this point;too stark, sterile & 2 dimensional;Stardock products really

thx for your prompt response Bichur...I am the only user authorized on my Lap...actually had to disable 'password' & use the Windows default 'Welcome' as the password enabled would not prompt the customized Logon screen...& yes, I have 'Faster User Switching' enabled - totally mystified why this has suddenly occurred after 2 yrs of faultless use.

yeah, I am having the same difficulty;have used LogonStudio for 2 yrs & now since I have recently done a 'restore', it will not 'load';the app installs but the Logon screen will not load;ditto for using the Bootskin app;the app loads but the skins will not install;is it Windows security or another customization like the Vista Customization pack V 3.6 suite preventing this? Any and all advise & or troubleshooting would be very much appreciated.
