Can I get my old layout and skins back?

Hi, I don't think I've updated Winamp since about '05 or '06 or something. Over the past year or so the program has been telling me to update whenever I open it.
Finally I decide to do so. Go through all that trouble and my layout and skins are gone and replaced by what looks like the winamp player I had nine years ago And it's the only skin on my comp now.

Before this install it used to it look like this:

(EDIT: apparently the forum is cutting out the link? Well, according to Wikipedia it's the Winamp 5 player)
I liked that and it was laid out just the way I wanted. And had about 10 or so different colour scheme skin things built in.
I pretty much just use Winamp for playing and playlists. (and thus unticked a lot of the excessive stuff in the install...)

I basically just want to know how I can I get it back to the layout and skinds it had before this install?

Sounds like you unchecked "Modern Skin Support" under "User Interface Extensions" in the Installer Options.

Yup. I reinstalled and it seems fine now. Thanks.
