Description
Authui.dll for Vista RTM and Vista SP1 
Copy authui.dll to %WinDir%\System32\
U need to have permision to do that..
ive added the Take Ownership.reg file Merge it,
to add easy Take Ownership to ur context menu..
browse to your Windows\system32\
look for authui.dll right click then Take Ownership.. Thats it!
now you can rename the original file to whatever name u want for restoration purposes..
copy the edited authui.dll to your Windows\System32
Enjoy and I hope you like it..
Update 1.0 Bigger LOGO More GLOW added in animation.. Resources by ~yethzart (.PSD and .PNG attached also) Idea and Link goes to ~MysticGenius (Thanks mate) 
Update 1.1 Fixed Glow Animation (it looks more descent to the eyes
)LOGO size Adjusted to look more balance in your desktop.
and here's the Good news
I've added Authui.dll for SP0 (Vista RTM) Version.. to those havent upgraded to Vista SP1 yet.
(Thanks again to ~MysticGenius for his shares of original authui.dll of RTM)
Info: This is the Animation logo before the logon screen of Windows Vista!!
Note: I wont take responsible for any damage it may cause to your system..
Do it at your own risk..

Don't know if I'm being ignored (many here do), you're WAY busy, or you have a different DeviantID, but I need either an SP2 version or explicit instructions (especially in the case of coding about which I know NOTHING) on how to use the SP1 resources with my SP2 authui.dll.
Thanks in advance.

ok.... big problem here...did something wrong renamed the Authui.dll but couldnt add the edited one, then my pc crashed. after reboot theres only a black screen i can move my mouse but cant do anything more! pls help im very confused and sad....

Sorry to hear that mate!
Ok, the only thing u can do is system restore.
Insert your Vista DVD and boot from the DVD.
and do a system restore..
That happens coz ur authui.dll was renamed and windows cant find it, coz u havent copy any authui.dll in your system..
π: 0 β©: 1
nono i made a backup of it in an other folder....system restore doesnt work unfortunately... ive a recovery cd but how can i copy the authui.dll from D: to system32 folder? ^^
π: 0 β©: 2
boot in your Vista DVD and setup,
before you go to full install there's an option for Fix or something similar, id forgot it already..
and when you click that option, theres a command console,
use the command console and copy the authui.dll to your windows\system32 folder..
Hope that will help..
π: 0 β©: 1
yes worked and now ive the edited one in it....nothing with permissions and like that just have to start in safe mode and then u can copy and delete all files in system32 maybe thats easier
PS sry for bad english 10 years schoolenglish sucks xD

Hi,
I got a question, can I use this with VISTA x64 or only VISTA x32. I have the SP1 for VISTA x64.
ItΒ΄s a nice Animation, so I would install it on my Computer.
Thanx for ur answer
π: 0 β©: 1
Hello
I dont have a x64 system, so i dont have the right resources for that.. Sorry!
maybe i can make one if you could send me the authui.dll of your Vista x64..
the file can be found @ \Windows\System32\ ..
Just send it to my e-add: yethoo at yahoo dot com ..
Put a Subject in your email so that i wont ignore it
Hope to hear from you soon!

whats ur os?
If ur using Vista then u probably installed the wrong version for ur OS..
Only u got a problem w/ this.. there are many downloads as i see, but doesnt post that they have a problem w/ it..
So, Please tell me what did you do or please tell me what procedure u tried. so that i can help you in anyway i can..
the pack contains the edited version for RTM(SP0) and for SP1..
and it also has an original untouched .dll for restoration purposes..

i have windows vista home premium (im glad your helping me, i really want o use this:joy
1.took ownership of authui.dll
2.renamed it to authui.dllOLD
3.tried to move your authui.dll from my desktop to system 32, but it just wouldnt work. No error, but it just wouldn't go.
im glad we met, lets fix this

Glad to help
are u using SP1 or RTM?
and which authui.dll u are getting in pack? ( I mean which folder in the pack ur extracting?)
π: 0 β©: 1
sp1, and im using the sp1 longhorn style......can u tell me the steps, like exactly what to do in order.....the directions included are kinda fuzzy to me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok.. this is what i did to change the startup animation..
Open the pack you downloaded, inside the pack there's a folder SP1.
open the folder SP1, then Open Longhorn Style folder.
Extract the authui.dll inside the Longhorn Folder to your desktop,
then rename the C:\Windows\System32\authui.dll to authui.dll.backup ..
(Run the Take ownership 1st so that u can take control of that file..)
then Copy the extracted authui.dll from your desktop to C:\Windows\System32\..
Restart to take effect.. Hope that will help you coz thats the only thing i did and it works w/o any problem at all..
Im Using Vista Ultimate SP1..
π: 0 β©: 1
ok.....im using vista home premium sp1.
I got it working, and its beautiful, but not in the way you described. Once i rename the original "authui.dll" to "authui.dll.backup", i can no longer copy move or cut anything.
1. Take ownership of original "authui.dll"
2. Extract longhorn "authui.dll" to desktop
3. Shutdown
4. Put in windows recovery disk
5. boot cd\dvd drive.
6. system recovery options
7. launch command prompt
8. type copy "C:\users\yourusername\desktop\authui.dll" "C:\windows\system32"
9. press enter
10.shutdown
11.reboot (will take about 1 min longer than usual. Enjoy the new startup animation as you boot.
This works.....and the only reason i had to use the command prompt on the cd is because the command prompt on my laptop would no longer work either after i renamed the original "authui.dll" to "authui.dll.backup". It seems like after i rename it, everything stops working. Luckily im a genius
thanks again for your help, love the new animation!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to do this without a recovery disk? I don't have one. But I know how to get to a command prompt without really logging into Vista. I'm facing this problem on my Home Premium, too.
π: 0 β©: 1
you dont need no recovery disk....just follow his directions....he helped me get it..
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok. I got it now, thank you.
π: 0 β©: 0
Congrats 
by the way, i think it only happens in Home Premium..
coz i tried my way in Vista Basic before and Still using the same procedure i did w/ Vista Ultimate, i didnt got any problem..
the way u make it work in Home Premium is like booting in Safe Mode in XP
and now Im very glad, that u successfully installed it

well, it removed the boring effect of the usual startup orb of vista...
hope you'll make another style, not so related to windows (e.g. the annoying flags, orgs, etc.)
a great job, indeed.
