I am still having an issue with Bootskin. For some reason when my 'puter boots up, the background image of the boot skin shows but the progress bar doesn't 'progress.' Matter of fact nothing shows up inside the little box where the scanny dot thing is supposed to be. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling previous versions but no dice. Any ideas? I know I asked this before but I can't seem to find the previous post. Thanks in advance!

A skin you made or one you downloaded? Do other skins work?

Wow, that was fast! No, this is something that is universal, meaning it doesn't matter which skin I apply, or if I even go back to the XP Pro default. I have to run to the bank, but I'll check back as soon as I get home. Thanks so much for trying to help me!

What version of bootskin? Some have problems with different BIOS.

I've tried that already, sorry. Gone as far back as I could. Even dug up an even earlier version I had burned to a backup CD, no dice. I really don't know what else to do. Unless there is some kind of patch I can apply or something.

bootskin is unsupported partly because it's such a bear to support.

I have a solution . . .

Never reboot.
