[QUOTE="Christopher Sopko, post: 930682, member: 133045"] I just installed Media Portal on a Windows 8 HP Desktop. I have downloaded the new Avalon skin, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I installed the skin by clicking on the download button from the media portal webpage. It seemed to install correctly, but I cannot find it anywhere in order to make it my default skin. I tried to go back and install it using the media portal extension installer, but it does not show on on the list of available skins to download. As part of trying to figure out how everything works I used the media portal extension installer to install the "Black Glass Nova HD" skin and I am able to see it in my list of installed extensions. Unfortunately, I do not see a way to make this skin available when I launch the application. Additionally, I searched for the Avalon skin in the list that shows up in the media portal extension installed, but I do not see it anywhere. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, or maybe this software is not designed to run on Windows 8 but either way can anyone steer me in the right direction? I have a VERY large video collection of 3,000 ripped DVD's and approximately 90,000 songs that I would like to catalog. If there are specific skins that will accommodate this type of collection I would like to know about them to save some time. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
