I cannot select any skins using the Skins menu on my avalaunch dash, also xmc cannot be selected either. I`m thinking that the files are not in the correct folder/pathname. Where should my skins be on my HDD?

Be gentle as complete Noob!

I'll try to be gentle. Are you sure you're even using MXM? I guessing you did a forum search for 'skin' and came here. This forum isn't for Avalaunch or media center problems.

Posting in the right forum is the first hurdle
