Can't make a zip file? Can't rename it?

Thanks for all the advice. I am going to wait for the "final" version to be released as this is a great idea.

The problem that I have is that when I boot with bootskin enabled WindowsXP won't boot and returns you to the XP boot menu. In oeder to boot I have to boot from the last known goow configuration. Does anyone else have this problem.

I still have the problem. Could it be my anti-virus program. I am using PCCillan2003.

I had this same problem and what I did was have Bootskin OPENED and in a window while downloading the file. It went off without a hitch and works great for me.

If you have a problem still, my suggestion is to write Stardock and give them all the details of the problem. They might be able to help you but it may be a problem that they are not aware of too.
Others appear to have had the same problem as what I had, but the latest build "beta" version is now working on my system (my 'puter still has the same problem).

Don't think this has been posted yet, so please disregard if it has. ^^
The "corrupt file" problem is, I think, pretty simple to fix and prevent. When you create a bootscreen, don't put the needed files in other folders within the zip file. The needed files (the .bmp and so on) need to be in the top level of the zip/bootskin file!! This has worked for me on the six or seven skins I tried.
If you are downloading a bootscreen and get this problem, simply rename the folder to a .zip file, then extract the files as people have posted before. Creating a one-leveled folder with only the needed files in it is what you need to do.
I hope this helps!!

Yes...SheLikesIt is correct....some 'zips' have included paths which can be an issue.....ideally the zipping should be without path....

Have anyone tried uninstalling and installing again?
When I 1st downloaded and installed Bootskin I experimented similar problems.
I deleted Bootskin and downloaded and installed it again. Now it works like a 16 color charm

Nope, I use PCcillin 2003 as well, and no problem here.

You can create the bootskin file without exporting it. Just make your images, write your ini file, zip it up and rename it to somename.bootskin
