I just exported one to a temp folder, named it Alienware and it worked fine...are you using version .075?

Just create a new folder on c:\ and call it whatever you want...

Did you import this skin into Bootskin before you tried to export it?

Do you mean into the C:/program files/stardock/wincustomize/bootskins/skins/alienware is the exact location of my file needed to be saved.

That's fine...now open Bootskin and click on 'Import'...then you can export it.

I really don't want it mostly because I'm not sure you have the files correct. You should have two files...the BMP file and the INI file...correct? If that is what you have did you copy and paste another INI file from another Bootskin or did you write one?
