Answers That I've Given
Question:
I went to this site to DL these skins for WMP and none of them worked when I transfered them into WMP. So where can I DL some that work. Here is the site I got them from, and this is also a site that a few pages linked me to...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/skins2.aspx
If they do work and I just did something wrong, please let me know that too, cause I did like a lot of these skins and some of them I had before Windows got all skimpy with their skin choices...and I did follow the instructions.
Thanks
My Answer:
They work just fine for me. I am using Windows Vista, with Windows Media Player 11.
I went to the page that you've provided and downloaded a skin, then I double clicked on it to install it.
Then I go to View--->Skin Chooser,and choose the skin I want.

or you can also do this: http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae22/Ng2491/Screenshots/WMPSkinHowto02.png
And here's what my WMP looks like after applying the new skin: http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae22/Ng2491/Screenshots/WMPSkinFrostbite01.png
If you still unable to install new skins for your WMP, you can ask this question again (either directly to me or to the entire site) but this time, please include the following information:
1. What is your Windows Media Player version (7, 8, 9, 10, or 11)?
2. What was the skin that you were trying to download (just the name is good enough)?
3. What is your web browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) and your operating system (XP, Vista, or 7, etc.)?
Hope this helps,
Ng2491 :-)
(Rating: 5) ok so I went ahead and got the first one, the winter collection and this allowed me to get WMP11 so I have that now, and the ones that come in that package work....but the ones that are not in that package that I download don't work...so how do I get those to work? Or can I only use ones that are compatable to WMP11..Thanks...kahea2018@yahoo.com
