I need help with bootskin
Thursday, March 3, 2005 by Lou P | Discussion: New Users
I have a problem with bootskin. When I try to use a boot skin I get a message that says this:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
I have tried a number of diffrent skins that I have downlaoded from this sight. As well as bootskin vers. 1.05, 1.03, and 1.02
So, do any of you know how to fix this?

Unless someone else has some ideas, you may be right.

Some users upload the preview prior to the conversion to 16 colors 4 bit, but in reality BootSkins are only displayed on 16 colors. Your screen resolution has nothing to do with the bootskin.

There is a way to get a custom boot screen without BootSkin installed. It has 2 drawbacks:
1) You need to edit your boot.ini file (can cause system lockup if done incorrectly!)
2) It does not support the animated progress bar (that I know of!)
I can explain further if anyone's interested
