Problem Installing Bootskin
Tuesday, September 14, 2004 by Th4 P3y0 | Discussion: Stardock Software
I have a problem installing bootskins that come as a zip file that contains two bitmaps and a .ini file. I read that you had to doubleclick the file when the stardock bootskin program is installed but that doesn't work. hope someone can help me.

Can you explain what you mean by "it's still a zip file" after you rename the file?

I renamed and then I go to properties and it's called myboot.bootskin but it says WinZip File and the program doesn't recognize it as a Bootskin file.

Go into 'Folder Options' and un-check "Hide known extensions". Now rename it with the Bootskin Extension.

And you've tried Open With, and that didn't work. ....... have you tried reinstalling the BootSkin program?
