Skins don't install

Anuolf · 14th May 2005, 21:12

I have downloaded the new WinAmp to my computer. However, when I went to download some new skins [since I was pretty tired of the default one] they would download and WinAmp would pop up, but the default skin would still be there. I've gone into Skin Preferences and tried manually looking for the skins to no avail. Even classic skins don't install.

Can anyone help?

From the Troubleshooters sticky in WATS:

WinXP sp2 / IE6 sp2 download issues:

* Skins download as .zip files (instead of .wal or .wsz) with WinXP sp2 / IE6 sp2

If these threads don't help you further, post your system specs.

Hope this helps, jmat

Also, did you install Modern Skin Support, only available in the full, bundle or pro versions?

I am using Firefox browser and they still dont install properly. After download the skins, I can see them in the Winamp "Installed skins" list, but they appear as the default skin when I click on them.

This happened only since last month. All the skins I installed before that time still work fine. Only the skins I downloaded since last month dont work.

I can see their extensions as wsz, so the extensions seem to be fine.

I downloaded the FireFox Browser and the skins downloaded and installed just fine. Thank you for the help!
