Bootskin Import Problem !!
Hari Hari Mau
I wanna report an import problem regarding the BootSkin utility by
Stardock.
Bootskin import somehow fails !!
Stardock BootSkin version 1.05a
@ 2003 - 2004 Stardock.net Inc.
Created a .bootskin file as outlined in many tutorials
bmp file with resolution of 640X480, 256 colors,
a .bootskin file,
all in a directory of their own,
zip the whole directory,
rename the zip file into .bootskin file
....
Imported the BootSkin file successfully into the BootSkin program -
File --> Import from file... ---> Click on the .bootskin file,
then a little window appears with the message
"Bootskin imported successfully"
So far so good, right?
Not so !!!
You see, the newly imported skin does **NOT** show up anywhere in the
list, nor can I preview it, or apply it !!!
I checked deeper ... and found out that under the "C:\Program Files
\Stardock\WinCustomize\BootSkin\skins" directory, however, there's a
new "WaterFall" subdirectory created, completed with the bootskin.ini
and the bmp file:

[BootSkin]
Type=0
Name = "WaterFall"

Many thanks in advance !!
