Help with Bootskins!

It always goes back to the default.

from WinCustomize Forums
I made a bootskin and it worked.. except when I had it loaded, my computer just kept restarting itself and would never fully start up. Finally I chose to start up with last known working config and now no bootskins, mine or others', will work.

How can I undo whatever I did?

Has it work at all with any skins, Bootskin does not work on all computers due to BIOS tweaks by manufacturers. There are a couple other versions that you can try, if none work you are out of luck. https://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/
The one you made worked where, in the bootskin preview, that does not mean it works, only true test is when reboot/start computer.
Are you getting Windows default bootscreen? Open Bootskin, make sure it is set to default.
Uninstall reinstall, try skins that come with it first, as they work, if does not work with all 3 version, as above you are out of luck to use bootskin.

The bootskin I made worked once when I restarted my computer-- but when it worked, my computer just kept restarting itself and wouldn't fully start up.

No bootskins will work- not mine, my friends, or the skins that come with bootskin. As soon as I close out of bootskin, it resets itself to the default screen.

Well.. now I've got the dumb thing working (it only works with bootskin 1.02 or whatever it's actually called) but the pictures come out reeaaallly static-looking and in only black, green and blue. I know about the 4 bit 16 color mess... that's not the issue. It does it with all the bootskins. Help
