Bootskin Pro was working for me before the most recent update (1.01 [b].024), on both Vista Home Premium x64 and Vista Ultimate 32 bit, but now it seems to load and apply skins a little faster than before.  Great work, Stardock, and thank you.

Yeah, I've had it working since 1.00.037, on both 32 and 64 bit Vistas

Mine is set to English (Australia).. maybe you could reset your locale to Australia to see if this remedies the issue... like your locale setting needs to correspond with your selected time zone (assuming thats Sydney Melbourne Brisbane, etc) and other settings for Bootskin Pro/Windows to apply bootskins properly.  Dunno cos I'm no expert, but it's a thought.

Yes I am, whether or not that makes any difference i don't know... but I still think I'd be inclined to reset the locale to Australia and reboot prior to trying to apply a bootskin, being that you reset it to the US and updates to Bootskin Pro have since been released to address the location issue for most, including Australia.

Anyhow, all the best with it and I hope you get it resolved soon.

Hello ian I know how you are feeling its the same here no mater what files I select the same result your are experiencing happens the only one that selects correctly is the default vista 

I'm using Vista Ultimate SP1 blah blah - all up to date.

Regional Language options set to English (UK)

I'm running BS Pro 1.01.024 which doesnt work.

the update before the above did'nt work.

the update before that did

and the apdate before that did'nt.

Thanks for your hard work so far Stradock in trying to fix this, but please don't give up now

I'm using Vista Ultimate SP1, 32 Bit.

Regional Language options set to English (Singapore).

I'm running BootSkin Pro 1.01.024 and only the Vista skin applies. The rest don't work.

My locale was English-Australia.

I reset it to English-United States and bootskin pro then worked.

I then reset it again to English-Australia and bootskin pro still works (believe it or not)!!!!

Vista 32 bit home premium

EDIT

Spoke too soon

Back to square one

Ian, thanks for the feedback.  Bootskin Pro diod go through as much testing as possible within the scope available.  And for the majority of the users, it has worked very well.

As there are so many permutations in the PC world it does become difficult to test for everything and things do get through.  You can trust that we wish they didn't and when they do, we try to fix as we can.  There have been updates to the latest version to handle some issues that cropped up and other are in the works.  Microsoft has not made it easy to modify this easily but we trudge on.  And we do work with Microsoft when situations crop up. 

As we get user reports we address each one and try to find resolutions.  Thankfully, the community around Stardock products understands that oftentimes there are issues and participate as partners in resolving them.

So again . . thanks for the feedback and the patience.  We really appreciate both.

Are you in Canada?  Are you using US English or  . . some other thing?

i just installed bootskin pro today, and like everyone else, i get that stupid error saying boot screen cannot be applied

i am running vista home premium 32 bit

english (i use the computer in hk, but its in english)

UAC is on

is there anything that can be done soon, cause i waited a long time for bootskin pro, and now when i get it, it doesnt work

It's not the keyboard language that matters - it's the system locale that can be changed under the Administrative tab in the Regional and Language Options dialog.

Your blind look like CRAP! (Ok, I admit, I'm just jealous... )
