WMP skinning activation problems under Vista.

Hello, I am trying install skins like those at Skins Factory.  I try to install Batman theme for WMP 11, and it seems to install, the skin pop up and animate, working.  But as soon I close it, or maximize it, it return to corporate WMP theme.

I go to skin chooser, and I try to activate Batman them again, but nothing happen. Nothing happen at all.  I tried other SF themes and  they all do the same.  Only the default one that comes with Vista, Revert and corporate, don't do this.  I tried a skin of my own, and it doesn't work.

I go in WMP11 under XP64 and it working all right.  I have 2 machines with Vista x64 and it do this problem.

I searched all night on Google and I find many people in the same situation, but never with concrete answer of why it is happening.  The only workaround I have found is to click on the wmz and overwrite every time I want to use it.


My last hope to get answer is to voice it again.

Any ideas or suggestions?

TIA

oh, I kind of resolved the issue.

It happened that when I download the file on my Vista x64, it kinda corrupt the file. When I download it on a Vista or XP 32 bit machine, and transfer the file on my Vistax64, it play fine.

I don't know how my machine corrupt these files, I got a friend with Vista x64 and direct download the SF files and it install without problems.

I think it time for format :/

Thanks anyway.
