yes, i've also tried those, but they didnt work. I think maybe its just how my computer is set up or maybe the problem is in my internet connection. But i doubt the connection just a little bit because i just moved from Arizona (i had Cox Cable/ Broadband) to California (which now i have DSL). At both locations, it was the same problem.

To clarify, are you having trouble with acquiring the zips at all.. or problems with installation?

I checked the downloadability of some of the zips for the launcher skins and they are working for me.

Are you able to download other things or zips from other sites?

I cannot download them period. i cannot get to the install thing. You know when u go to download something, and the icon looks like a white page with little thumb nails / icons on it...


Well... i have that icon up there.


I recently tried downloading one skin anyway and saved it to my desktop, i opened the folder, when i tried to run it, it said "Unable to find document."

Very strange problem mate! :( The file to be downloaded is a zip file with one image file and one text file inside. I'm not sure why it won't appear as a zip to you, but what you're describing sounds like your browser or computer won't recognise the .zip file type? I'm assuming its the popup dialogue from the browser, asking you where you want to save the file you are attempting to download, that is showing you the 'white page with icons' image.

Of course is you have zip files that your computer can otherwise recognise then the problem is not that and we should look further! Keep us posted. :)

Hmmm there is something else weird going on here. None of those Launcher skins contain exe's, or are exe's themselves. :? So no there's no thing you can do to convert them. Without seeing screenshots of what you are seeing I'm stuck for figuring this out. The best I can suggest is to grab Winrar or Winzip, install them, and try the downloads again.
