What skin are you trying to download?
RE: Having problems with skins by Chrissy on 02-25-2010 at 06:34 PM
Maybe the skin is not compatible with your version of msn?

When you'd downloaded the file, were you able to open it using WinZip, or WinRar? You should be able to drag the downloaded PLSK into any unzipping utility and see the files inside.
If not then the download didn't complete properly and would explain the message you received. If this is the case then clear your Browser cache and try the download again

Download the file to your hard drive ("Save", not "Run") then open WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip (whichever archiving software you have) then drag and drop the downloaded file onto it.
Does it display all of the files inside it?

Don't try to open it, use an archiving program such as the ones I've suggested to view the contents of it. Are you able to see all of the files contained within the skin?
Also, please don't send PMs, keep the discussion to the thread as it will help other people give their input incase I'm not able to solve your problem

Can you provide a link to the skin you're trying to download?

As long as the skin says that it is compatible with 2009 then it will work with your messenger. Some are compatible with both 8.5 and 2009. Just read carefully on the download page and as long as it says its compatible with 2009 then you should be fine
