I am using a Sony VAIO laptop (that comes with a custom login screen to begin with) running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit.
I am trying to use Stardock's LogonStudio to change the background of my login screen.
I can add new images to the program, but no matter what I use (preloaded or my own images), it never manages to change the login screen background.
Is there a way I can get this to work?

I have a VAIO as well and it looks like getting this to work requires a small registry edit:
Start->Run
and type inregedit
.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 to0
.OK
.The logon screen background should now change as expected.
