I just installed Influence and when I go to Home the only option I get is "Init Skin And Restart"
[Image: screenshot000.png]
I cannot even get to the Options to change skin. I restarted XBMC several times and restarted my computer, still can not access anything. I even downloaded XBMC again and ran the install. I really don't want to uninstall xbmc and go through the work of adding all my stuff again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you run into this sort of problem again, look in th guisettings.xml in you userdata folder, look for the section <lookandfeel>, this is where XBMC looks for which skin to use when loading.

Code:
<lookandfeel>
        <enablerssfeeds>true</enablerssfeeds>
        <font>Default</font>
        <rssedit></rssedit>
        <skin>skin.confluence</skin>
        <skincolors>SKINDEFAULT</skincolors>
        <skintheme>SKINDEFAULT</skintheme>
        <skinzoom>0</skinzoom>
        <soundskin>OFF</soundskin>
        <startupwindow>10000</startupwindow>
    </lookandfeel>

change the <skin></skin> to skin.confluence and whe you re start xbmc it will be on Confluence

For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first you can also use XBMC Log Uploader Script.
