That's what I'm thinking Paul...... Mr. Computer doesn't even know what program he installed.

Double-click the files you downloaded or Import the files, using the Bootskin program
The reason you cannot see them in the list is because the program dows not actually use the .bootskin file, you import as above, and it is auto-unzipped into the correct place

I do'nt know where to unzip files to. I tried unzipping them to bootskin folder, & using the import but import does not reconize the zip folders that boot screens are in.

you need the bootskin program first. but then there is no need to unzip them as if you double click a downloaded bootskin they install by themselves.
I think your problem is that you do not have the bootskin proggy.

Or are you trying to import a file downloaded from elsewhere (a ntoskrnl perhaps), if not then please tell me which file you cannot import, and I will help you as best I can

The file you have is probably a .bootskin file, this is actually a .zip file renamed and will not directly load into a paint program, is is used solely for the Bootskin program, and can only be imported into that program.
Get it here >> http://storage.stardock.com/files/bootskin_free.exe
You can if you wish, unzip with another program, but once imported into the Bootskin program it will be automatically unzipped and placed in the correct place on your hard drive, from this place you can examine the bitmaps (graphic pictures) and the .ini files, that are used to make up the boot screen

If the above post is not the case then send me the file and I will look at it, and hopefully to find the problem (if you can zip the file beforehand) then let you know how to solve the problem

GALLOIS,
The Computer City boot skin wasn't made at the correct bit depth. You see the default because the boot skin program will drop off to the default if it can't display the boot skin correctly. Nothing is wrong on your end. Just delete the Computer City boot skin until the author fixes it.
Cheers
