Something is really messed up with my bootskin program --I know it worked before, but here's the prob: I made four new bootskins using the same formula set out in the tutorial and even double chedked with some others I made - the preview looks great. But when I log off, and re-boot, the skin is blacked out! I can see the outlines, but it seems to have a mask or whathave you overit! I did have a major system problem earlier this week and had to reinstall everything (thank god for backups!!) but it still isn't working - and only for the newest ones I made! I rechecked the color depth (all 4 bit, 16 colors) and the image type is bmp. but still get this blacked out image. Any ideas as to what to try next???? Thanks for the help. B
