Bootskin will not apply

Saturday, March 14, 2009 by alpha-prime | Discussion: Object Desktop

Hi

I have installed Bootskin Pro v 1.02 onto my PC running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. I selected the included boot skin "Orange Nebula" click apply and get the succesfully applied message.

However, when I boot the bootscreen has been changed from the default Vista bootscreen to the hidden Windows bootscreen and not "Orange Nebula".

Any ideas what is going wrong?

What language and system locale do you have the machine set to?

I have been having the same problem also. My pc locale is English (New Zealand)

Is there a fix for this at all? Or do I have to change thee sytem locale to make it work?

New files have been pushed to Impulse that should fix the regional settings issue.

If you were having issues applying bootskins bplease update and try again.

Report back here (https://forums.stardock.com/330550) with any other problems

There is a free version available that lets you apply skins (but not create them) available through Impulse.
