Ok, new file sent, you have to rename it too .EXE and run it, that should then allow you to use the Bootskins

I can't think of any reason why it doesn't work. unless there is some other program that is interfering with the boot-up sequence

There's no commercial loader on your computer?
You normally see the default XP screen?
You have admin rights to the XP OS?
The install is to default paths for Bootskin?
Maybe virus checking enabled in Bios?
[starting to grasp at straws here]...

I have found the solution. don't ever restart your computer again 
I gave up last night, and I have never had an problems with bootksin.

angela316 - Do a search and make sure you actually have ODzip.dll in the 'Common Files' folder.

OK...re-boot into bios (hit 'DEL' on post) and make sure 'Virus Check on start-up' is disabled.

Re-start your computer and when you see the 'Computer Info' first come up on the black screen, hit the 'Del' key and it will enter the bios. Look for that setting and disable it...
BTW: make sure you save changes in bios before you exit...should be F-10 key

Uninstall - Reboot - Install - Reboot
That may solve the problem, if not i'll try and think of something else to try
