I assume you are running Windows XP, it does not work on win98 or WinME

yep, XP, compaq as well, i tried the boot XP after this didn't work, but it was worst, it started to show the bootskin but the color was off and then it restarted again and i had to reboot in safe mode and restore system settings, i am running in 32 bit color, i tried to put it on 16 with the bootskin from here but it still did not work, i even tried turning my security off to see if it was keeping me from changing script or something

also i looked in regedit and foud the stardock wincustomize file, logon studio was there but not boot skin, i searched in regedit for boot skin there is a path for it but none in the wincustomize file, i am wondering if that has something to do with it, in my programs under wincustomize it is in there, but not in regedit

The boot screen should ALWAYS be 640x480 - 16 Colour - (4 bit) pictures
And the ProgressBar should always be 22x9 - 16 Colour - (4 bit). Exactly the same palette as the main pic

If you download from Wincustomize then they should match the criteria, and should work, there must be something else wrong, you do have the latest version of the BootSkin program, yes?

That file is only needed to import/export a .BootSkin file and not used for the displaing of the skin
