DON'T USE THE VERSIONS CONTAINED IN THIS LINK.

I followed the advice given in Zubaz' thread. Each version caused Windows to crash at bootup. I was able to retrieve the situation only by booting in Safe Mode.

Bootskin doesn't work with all BIOS, if none of those versions work there's really nothing that can be done.

Really bad advice.  Bootskin (any version) is unsupported because of PC specific issues; not the app.  Some versions work with some PCs and some versions will never work.

Hi, I'm using bootskin since years, and it always worked for me.

I don't think there is anything between the program and the BIOS, I was using it quitely on my Asus P5E3, with WinXP Pro sp3, now I go through XP Pro sp2 64 bit and bootskin is no working anymore. So, I don't think it works or not depending from the hardware/BIOS.

I just know that now, also if I have the same hw config, I have to renounce to bootskin until I'll not be back to Win 32 bit, and this is not make me so happy
