Recently upgraded my Jornada 568 to HP PPC 2002 update followed by WMP
Update and WMP Control for IE.

Now when I attempt to access WMP I get the following message:

"No Skin Files Present on your device Either reinstall WMP or go to
Http://www microsoft.com for more skins."

I find this hard to believe as I have the following files in Program Files
under Windows Media Player folder:

1) Player
2) Welcome to...
3) wmp85default

If this is true, can I just download skins to my device? I located skins at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/w [...] skins.aspx

If so, do I execute on my Desktop and transfer to some folder on my PPC or
should I download and execute on my PPC?

Thanks for your help - sorry for being so long.

One clarification:

According to something I read, I should download a skin from the microsoft
website and then run the executable on my PC.

Then I think I need to copy the resulting files from the executable to my
PocketPC's Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins folder.

Does this sound correct? Does anyone know how to get the original factory
default skins back with a hard reset?

Thanks

William
