Cannot get skins to load

Hi gang. I just wanted to come on here and post my question before I go completely nuts. And start killing small, furry, farm animals. Okay. I've tried changing my skin for Winamp. And I find that I don't have any. So I download some, and put them in my skins folder, inside the winamp directory. Well. Guess what? Winamp keeps telling me I don't have any skins. What am I doing wrong?

That's odd. The file format you're downloading is .wsz, right? Try double-clicking the skin files.

since you say the directory is right, it is my guess you are not download the right type of skins. .wal is a winamp 3 only skin. .wsz on the other hand can be used for both winamp versions, but is made specifically for v2. Can you give us a link to a skin you tried to download?

are you sure that you have your skins directory set as the right folder? make sure that its program files(or whatever)\winamp\skins
