ParticipantDid you empty the recycle bin?
What other programs are running?
How big is the skin?
40MB is still VERY little, how big is your disk, combined Free and Used space?

Memberno. I downloaded and installed all the windows updates but that same message comes up.
Can ANYONE figure out what the problem is?

MemberI had been having the same problem just like the one LittleBuddy was having. I tried solving the problems on XP and 98SE, it won’t do me any good

Memberare you still having the problem. Do you know why you cant download skins? does anyone know what the problem is?

MemberYeah I still have the same problem. I don’t know what the problem why some of us are unable to get it working for us. 🙁
https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3727 – I have overlooked some that I should try their instructions.
EDIT–Somehow I was able to install skins in Trillian by dragging the files into the skin folder. 😮 Just highlight all folders and drag them in your Trillian skin folder.

MemberHey guys!
I’m not much of a skin user. I personally like the default skin for Trillian as it is. I have, however, messed around with a few different skins and the way I always have installed them was by unzipping the file and them manually dragging the files to the skin folder. The Skin Chooser usually does the rest from there.
Littlebuddy: A solution to you problem might be to have someone else download the skin for you and try to transfer it to you through Trillian or e-mail. This may get you around the problem, but really does not solve it. Worth a try at least if you ask me.
And I have good news! I just downloaded and installed it. It’s working fine for me. I don’t really like it very much, so I’ll be switching back to the default skin….but at least it works! 🙂 Let me know if you’d like me to try e-mailing it to you.
