First, no need for a new thread.
How did the benz booskin download, as a .zip, or a .bootskin. If .booskin double click it to self install. If a zip that contains a folder with 2 images and a .ini in it, the .zip can be renamed to .booskin, or extract folder and move it to C:\Program Files\Stardock\WinCustomize\BootSkin\skins.

Whether or not it will work on your system could be another issue too. Certain BIOS don't seem to like it.

This should also probably be in the new Bootskin forum that the nice Stardock guys made.

In bootskin folder or skins folder in bootskin folder, just the folder with the images and .ini not the .zip. When it is in skins folder Bootskin software must be closed then reopened to refresh the skins list. If it is a .bootskin file just double click it.
