why are all the newer apps from stardock only downlaodable on download.com?

and if this is a week old then download.com needs to really update thier pages because it shows it as v1.01 and the files are all named bootskin_free but should include the version number so people dont wast thier time downlaoding

Well, the link on bootskin.com that says 1.02 forwards you to a page at download.com that says:

While you're downloading BootSkin 1.01...


Is there a list of the changes in this version or is the random bootscreens the only change? Any news on the high color support?

Am I the only one having some problems with this latest update?

First of all, new bootskins that I download aren't automatically imported like they used to be...I've had to manually import every bootskin I've downloaded since updating.

Second, no matter which bootskin I set as being active, I get nothing but the default XP bootscreen when I turn on the computer.

Rutabaga64 sad, something buggy about this update

No, I'm having the same problems...except it loads the bootskin correctly, and then goes to a black screen and crashes. In order to get back on I have to reset, go on Safe Mode, and disable the bootskin. I even tested it with one that worked perfectly in 1.01, and it still crashed.

I am having the same problems as the others. Is there any place to get an older version.

Just love this app & hope that all the fixes somehow get ameliorated soon! I don't like the prospect of having comp/crashes which is why I haven't dl it from SDC since its release...Thx.
