Once again, my XP Home has choked on a bootskin
Does anyone have a workaround for this???
Friday, June 13, 2008 by wendycontos | Discussion: Object Desktop
I seem to have no luck at all with bootskins. I just got a blue screen of death, followed by an "offer" to start in safe mode. I disabled the bootskin and it started fine. But dammit, I just hate that black MS bootscreen, and I really would like something better.
Thanks, Wendy

I could never get bootskin to work right since day one. As soon as I got the BSOD...it got the BOOT!

If you are currently using 1.05, try using a previous version, I have seen that previous older versions have worked when the newest version didn't. If that still doesn't work, at least you tried. Bootskin doesn't work on every pc unfortunately.

font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"][/font]Well, that's interesting. I think it worked. What I had before was the free version. Maybe that doesn't work or something. At any rate, I tried V.03 and deleted the file you mentioned before. Then I reloaded the bootskin, and so far it's working.
But say, what and where is version 5?
Keeping my fingers crossed,

Whoops. This forum doesn't do fancy the way I'm used to.

Hey, I tried deleting the suggested file. Then tried v.03, which worked just fine! Thanks for the help.
