Darn. I tried it and still no luck. So are you saying that the way I have been bringing up skins by double clicking on the .msstyles file is still possible without the patch? The patch just allows them to be listed, or what? Because I can still use the skins but can't see them listed until I save it as a theme. But then (as I have been saying) its only listed in the Themes tab, but as a theme not a Visualisation. And I would guess if getting the skins listed in the Advanced tab is part of the patch, and it isn't working, then the patch hasn't been working, and therefore leads me to believe the patch isn't imperitive to see the skins, just to list them properly from the outset.

Hmmmmmm... what is going on here, why isn't my patch working?
