no, i just now installed the one from boot XP haven't tried it yet, i did notice while searching in the regecit that the only thing listed under wincustomize is the log on studio, i couldn't find bootskins in there (regedit)
could that be it and if so how can i fix it?

All right this might seem extreme, but here it goes. Uninstall boot xp, next uninstall bootskin, logon studio, and any other stardock product. restart. Redownload bootskin, install it, choose a skin, and restart to see if it works. Try it and see if it works.

ok, is there something else i need to download besides the bootskin beta file??? it still didn't show in regedit nor did it work, do you have an instant messenger like yahoo or msn? maybe we can figure this out quicker or something

no I don't have any of those (I never really got into that sort of thing). No there isn't anything else to download. Just install bootskin and in the start menu in programs in wincustomize there should be a link to the bootskin program. Run it, choose a skin other then the normal then restart and see if it works.
