There is a chance the skins did not download properly. Just follow these instructions: To use skins with Yahoo! Messenger 7.5 and beta version 8.0, just go to the 'Messenger' drop down field, click on 'Change Skin', and select one of the skins in the drop down field. To get more skins, follow these instructions: -Download WinZip from www.winzip.com if you do not already have this program -Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/feat_skins.php -Click 'Download' next to the skin you want -Select all of the .bmp files that appear (click on the top file, hold down the shift key, scroll to the bottom, and click on the last file) -Click 'Extract' -Select 'Local Disk (C:) -Click 'Extract' -Now go to the 'Messenger' drop down field in Yahoo! Messenger -Select 'Change Skin' -Select the new skin from the drop down field -Click 'Ok'
