First off, make sure that all your videos are encoded in WMV 8 format (not WMV 9)

As for Skinner crashing, send me a copy of the skin (find me on IRC sometime today or tomorrow. #mxm on EFNET)

Dunno, it shouldn't be crashing at all. But an example skin that crashes Skinner would help fixing this.

Thank you people!!

At last i found the error!!! MXMXSkinner cut the name of files with a long namefile ("cacho pequeño transparente.png"

) when write the MXM_SKIN.XML

Maybe suggestion?:
Could Skinner detect errors in the .XML when load a skin and show a message instead of go to hyperspace?

3-4 days to finish my first skin i`ll show you it then. I have ripped the menus of Teminator 2 DVD to do the skin (near 16:9 if you strech the image in a 16:9 TV, deformed in 4:3 TV

)

Sorry for my english....

Seems like the vb FileCopy function can't handle long filenames... weird

This has also happened to me a few times. Like when working on on a skin and I save it. Then if happened to edit the xml file to add unsupported things like the Zpoints when I try to reload load itm it'll give me an error. Not everytime, but sometimes.

That's why I always say make a backup first.
