BootSkin problem not covered?

Published on February 14, 2004 By Graypony In WinCustomize Talk

Not that I came across anyway...

Problem is: BootSkin (WAS) installed. Ran it. Looked at the list but CHANGED NOTHING! Rebooted. Everything is fine until it gets to the place where the new boot screen would be. After a few seconds it starts over again, meaning, as if I'd pressed reset. Loops like this indefinately. Reboot to boot screen, reboot to boot screen, reboot to boot screen.

"Looked at the list but CHANGED NOTHING!" - I don't think I can be more clear than that!

Yeah, but what skin?

That would be the default I guess. I changed nothing

Did you apply any of the default skins, or just run the program and reboot?

Option 2. Ran (, closed) and rebooted

Had to do the "Last good configuration" or whatever it's called. Tried it with version .xx and again with 1.? Same thing

Good grief! He has said 3 times, he changed nothing, as in, didn't apply any of the skins in the list....

Possible new bug there, will speak to the creator of Bootskin

To avoid the problem in future, make sure you select one of the skins in the list and click the "Apply" button

Thank you Koasati. I was soooo close to start yelling (What part of CHANGED NOTHING don't you understand??????) but thought no, keep it mellow. Maybe Stumpy's just being a bit slow today. hehehe

Stumpy, that's what I did the *1st* time it happened! That's why, the 2nd time, I ..... no, I won't say it again!

So, you did apply a skin? Open BootSkin and select Default System Boot Screen, and Apply..... see what happens....
But you're stuck in a reboot cycle, I guess you can't. Can you get to Safe Mode?
