i dont know if this is the right place to post this but i cant find any other indication of where to post it
im trying to make a bootskin to apply to my sisters laptop and im following the tutorial found on this forum at this link https://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?AID=97764 and no matter what i try i cant seem to get bootskin to accept the skin so i can preview it on my computer before transfering it over to her computer
when i rename the zip file and add the extention .bootskin nothing happens it just stays as a winzip file i try and force it to open with bootskin and nothing it just sees the skins i already had in there any help would be greatly apprieciated

Rename the .zip to .bootskin, skin.zip becomes skin.bootskin. Or just move the bootskin folder to C:\Program Files\Stardock\WinCustomize\BootSkin\skins

This may be a silly reminder.....do NOT attempt bootskin if you are on Vista!!!!
You are on xp. though, right?

trooper - If you have further troubles on this or another machine please check the download site as there are multiple versions available to try out. Since Bootskin hasn't been updated in more than two years or so it isn't offically supported. However we discovered that access to the versions helped other users. If you get strange issues try all three and if they don't work,.. well some customers have figured out work arounds in thoes matters but generally speaking it is all or nothing. Sorry for the trouble in this.
