Thank you very much!
Yes I did, which is what threw me off for a second. When BootSkin Buddy does the export of the skin, it gives a .bootskin file, a .BMP of the bootskin, and the .ini. I was under the impression that I had to archive all three of those files into one, and rename the .zip to .bootskin. This, as you can imagine, caused an issue with the installation of my first BootSkin, Glint.
So in correcting the issue, I set out to design and distribute my second BootSkin.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback and encouragement!

| The colors on this bootskin turned out well, nice image - job well done. |
Thank you very much!
| Did you test the first bootskin before submitting to this site, it goes without saying (but I'm verbose so I'll say it anyways) that you should test out the bootskin on your system by going through a few reboots before exporting the bootskin to bootskin file and uploading to the site. |

cool and weird boot skin but i have a question...i downloaded this program (bootskin). i apply a skin and the when i restart the computer this message appears saying something like this "a new software or hardware has recently been added. this might have caused this" then it tells you to choose an "option" that say "start in safe mode, safe mode using command promp, use your recent settings that worked, and start normally." if i choose start normally the pc just keeps restarting and saying the samething, so i have to choose the "use resent settings that worked", so therefore i cant use ANY bootskins... PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME, this program seems very cool and there's a lot of cool bootskins to download, like this one...

Thank you, I think!
I'm sorry that you're having problems with Stardock's Bootskin application. The only thing that I've found that comes close to the problems that you appear to be having is that there are some incompatibility issue's with some PC's and their OS's, and unfortunately there's no known fix for it yet.
What you may have to do is start your computer in SAFE MODE, go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and remove Bootskin, but make sure you replace the default bootskin before total removing it from your system.
Try Bootskin on another PC and see if the problem follows the program or the PC, and you can start troubleshooting the issue from there once you have an idea where and what's causing the problem.
Hope that helps, and best of luck to you!

I really appreciate the feedback, and I hope everything worked out well for you. I'm getting ready to upload my third BootSkin, Razzah from Guild Wars Nightfall. Hope it does as well as Rotscale did.
