Problem Uploading my Bootskin

Reply #1 November 15, 2003 1:45 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

You dont need to put it in a zip...Just have the plain .bootskin file.

I just exported one to a temp folder, named it Alienware and it worked fine...are you using version .075?

Did that no luck... what folder exactly did u save yours to? Ill try it there...

Reply #11 November 15, 2003 2:23 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I see no reason why this shouldnt work... But let me know the directory you used.

Reply #12 November 15, 2003 2:23 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Just create a new folder on c:\ and call it whatever you want...

idea: do i need to make it my active boot screen before I can export? just wondering?

Reply #14 November 15, 2003 2:28 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Did you import this skin into Bootskin before you tried to export it?

ScoobyWRX....just keep a rein on the language you use...

Do you mean into the C:/program files/stardock/wincustomize/bootskins/skins/alienware is the exact location of my file needed to be saved.

Reply #17 November 15, 2003 2:33 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

That's fine...now open Bootskin and click on 'Import'...then you can export it.

Reply #18 November 15, 2003 2:38 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

u think I can email you the image and configuration file and you can export it and send it back to me for me to upload? It still wont work over here...

I just cant figure out how else I can ge this program to work... Ill tinker with it a bit in the morning too

Reply #20 November 15, 2003 2:45 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I really don't want it mostly because I'm not sure you have the files correct. You should have two files...the BMP file and the INI file...correct? If that is what you have did you copy and paste another INI file from another Bootskin or did you write one?

Reply #21 November 15, 2003 2:47 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I copied and pasted and then altered them to my info

Reply #22 November 15, 2003 2:47 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Was I wrong in doing so?

Reply #23 November 15, 2003 2:49 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

As long as you entered your info in the exact same form as was there and saved it as an INI file then it should work....

yeah, slap yourself twice then listen to yrag !
