I have tried multiple soft resets, as well as two hard resets. Even after a hard reset (clean install), it would not recognize the skins in multiple locations. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am replying to this with what I think is a solution. I am usually pretty good at finding info online, but this issue had stumped me. couldn't get any skins at all to work with WMP 10 - and no one was giving a solution. So I got fed up looking and just made it work. Try this.

[ Description ]
//
// ------ -----
Dimensions 480, 640 192

//
// -------------
Orientation Portrait

Open up the skin file, usually "default.skn" with wordpad. Then paste the above into the file right below the first line - something like [Pocket WMP Skin File v1.0] --- may not be exact.
Then just save and close. Make sure windows doesn't give your file a .txt extension. If it does, just rename it back to .skn

Then for landscape, paste the above and change it to 640, 480 and Orientation Landscape. I save this file as "default LS.skn"

I am using an x50v running OzVGA "true vga" and it is the only way that I can use other skins. WORKS AND LOOKS GREAT !!!

Good luck
