After you import a skin into Bootskin, close it and re-open. Pick your skin and click apply. It should now show as 'Active'.

| by Citizen marmie1950 - 1/26/2004 8:30:59 AM Thanks for the replies. I have imported skins. shown as active. When I put my computer on, the problem is, windows will not load up, that is the problem. I know how to get skins and apply. Anyone help? I know that this is a new programe, perhaps my pc will not run with it although I have no problem with other programs from wincustomize |
Please don't start a new thread on the same subject. It can get very confusing..

What you are saying is that the Bootskin program works but that you cannot run WindowBlinds which is a seperate program, see below
Bootskin = Loads and only loads a Bootup Skin the one with the progress bar.
WindowsBlinds = A program that changes the look on the windows by skinning them.
If you need more information then please read all there is on each program at the following site

I know who marmie1950 is, the problem she is having is that windows itself does NOT boot up after activating one of the boot skins,the safe mode page comes on and if you try and start up normally nothing happens, but selecting the last known configuration that worked,does, windows will then boot up but the boot up screen has been changed back to the original one.

which skin is it? it may be that the skin was made wrong; too big or too many colors. if she told us what skin it is, we could check it out and tell her the prob.

hm. i will check it out and see. 
could be that somethings wrong with her computer. has she reported this to the creators of the skins?
thats usually a first thing to do because they are the ones who made it.

The MOIO skin works fine here, the author was Keila and I tested it for her never went wrong, it is probably something else that is corrupting your system

Shame you couldn't get it working, I can see no reason for it not to, make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Bootskin program and install it, then try again.
That is all that I can suggest at present
