Thanks Braniac for the help that fix the problem but now I have one little problem it seems like everytime I save it will ask me if I want to replace every thing and as soon as I do my skin gets corrupted is there anyway I can avoid this problem and save my self alot of greif and pain by not having to do the skin by scratch everytime it gets f***** up ?

Sounds like you have one of the 'bad' versions of SS.See if there is an update available or reinstall a previos version.Or just uninstall and do a new install.I've never had SS ruin a WB yet.I had problems awhile back making a WMP skin but the latest versions work fine for me now.I would suggest saving all your graphics to a separate folder at least until you are done.That way the worst you would have to do is re-import all the images.(tho thtas a heck of a lot of work in itself)
