sorry, for not getting back sooner..
hmm.. try opening the .bootskin file in winzip (all bootskin submissions are just a zip file renamed), then extract it into a directory under bootskin/skins.
it could be that its actually extracting it to a sub folder, but bootskin only looks at the directory just under the skins directory (if that makes sense)

just a .bmp and .ini?
well.. thats a bit dodgey.. i always thought submissions had to be a .bootskin (and inside the .bootskin is at least one bmp and the ini file)
what you can do is then, create a directory in the bootskin/skins directory (whatever you want it to, doesnt really matter) and move the bmp and ini file into it. bootskin should pick it up..
