Two Bootskins

November 20, 2008 9:38 AM from

I recently had to re-install Windows XP, now whenever I re-start my computer the original bootskin loads but after a second or two the customer one flashes over. So two screens are loading in one session, I haven’t yet re-installed bootskin because I don’t want to have to re-load all the screens again.

Should I re-install the app? Will I have to re-load all the skins afterwards?

You could try one of teh other versions

BootSkin Download Alternative Versions

Some drivers and bios makers "break the rules" which can cause BootSkin to not work correctly. If you experience that, you can remove BootSkin by deleting \windows\system32\drivers\vidstub.sys. And then try one these alternative versions.

BootSkin 1.02 BootSkin 1.03
