Not at all true Meowy, Bootskins are just "stubborn" to put it mildly..
The fact that Nasok had the privaledge of using them at all is something that is noteworthy. Many, many people cannot use Bootskins due to system BIOS arrangments etc..etc.. I am one of those people..
But..I suggest this..
Since Bootskins did infact work before the installation of SP2 try going to your MoBo's website and seeing if there is a BIOS upgrade available.. I believe MS even recommends the same thing before upgrading to SP2..
I have not done it and will not due to the fact that SP2 is pretty much useless to me, but I believe that I have read that it helps to upgrade your BIOS if you do upgrade your OS to SP2..
Hopefully it will help,

| There is probably a big whoops in the boot. If it is yours, try the Bootskin Tuitorial found in the help menu. If it is someone elses tell them they did something wrong. That should fix it! |

Once I upgraded to SP2 I had no probbys but some skins make my computer restart too. I just have to edit them and viola!

Nasok666 it is not clear from your initial post whether you were able to run bootskin successfully.
If you had previously used bootskin and your problem just appeared with one particular skin, yes, then it was most likely the skin that caused the problem. > use another one.
If you have just installed bootskin on your computer and now you can't use any of the skins then you might be one of the unlucky ones that can't run bootskin at all due to incompatibilities of your BIOS with this program. Stardock offers different versions of Bootskin on their website https://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/ (scroll down, under 'Alternative Versions'). Try one of those if none of the skins downloaded works.

All i can say is uninstall it with the Zapper and redownload it. Worst comes to worst, dont use it.

Yes, only some skins restart from poor design. Try the included BootSkin Boot before zapping.
