Bootskins won't work
Sunday, January 13, 2008 by GrandpaDorsai | Discussion: New Users
Hi, I am a new user, I bought the Object Desktop suite and everything seems to work just fine except bootskins. No matter what I do, they don't show on boot. The progarm loads, it previews, it applys, but nothing happens on boot. Logon works great, themes work great, widgets, icons, etc. all work, but not bootskins. I am using Win XP Pro. Please help, thank you.

It is the system BIOS that will not allow Bootskin to work. On the Bootskin download page there are 2 alternative versions, if none work then you are out of luck.

Bootskin became unsupported a long time ago
Due to different BIOS, it doesn't work for everyone - for some it works, for some it locks up on boot, fro some just doesn't seem to do anything
There are 3 version, if one doesn't work, try another

it's never worked for me - but at least it never locked me up

Not sure if they will let you install Bootskin to see if it will work as this is the only way to know.

Well dang, that truly blows. I build myself a nice screaming machine and it won't run one piece of software? That does it, I'm just going to have to blow myself up into my component atoms. *activates personal thermo-nuclear device*
