BootSkin Question:

Boot up problem?

Hi Guys,

I downloaded "BootSkin" I rebooted a few times fooling around with different skins. I went out and left the PC off for a few hours. When I turned it on, it ran the skin than came up in the window you would find by pressing F8. I pressed enter to return to normal start up but ended up at the F8 screen again. I went in safe mode, roamed around looking for anything out of place. I than went to the restart button and rebooted and all came up fine. Is this a known problem? One other thing. Does using these skins slow the boot up process up at all? Thanks.

generally No the bootskins dont slow things down. Maybe a couple seconds.

Bootskin has had some problems with some systems. There are different versions you can try.

If the PC keeps booting into safe mode, set the bootskin to the XP default and then uninstall bootskin while in safe mode. Reboot.

Then you can try the other versions of bootskin to see if one works for you. Sometimes it takes a couple of boots and then it will work fine. Hope it helps.
