RE: Boot Skin ...:)
well, i've never used that program, but if you download a skin (for example this: http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=2102&LibID=32 ) you'll see that you download a *.bootskin file. Rename it to *.zip and see what it contents. It has 3 files: two bmp and one ini. If you look the images and read the ini file, you'll quick notice how to do skins ;)


edit: oh! btw: http://www.joeuser.com/articles.asp?c=1&aid=1886&u=0

If you scroll down, the site shows you have to install boot screens.


BUT ! be VERY careful.
You could seriously mess things up and your computer might not boot.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE THE CORRECT FILE, OR YOUR SYSTEM WILL LOCK UP ON BOOT.



Hah, anyway.  If you've already got it working, theres more boot screens to chose from on the site.

Stick to Stardock's Bootskin if you can, DO NOT replace the .exe manually. Using Bootskin shouldn't cause any problem, changing the files manually can **** up your bootup (it's not hard to solve if you backup, but hey, don't try to :))
