When i start up xbmc the logo shows then it just shows a black screen!
I have tried reinstalling it but its still doing it.

I had the exact same symptoms last week where I would get the xbmc startup logo and then black screen.
In my case, my computer had changed its local ip address so an entry in advancedsettings for the connection to mysql was incorrect. As soon I modified my advancedsettings I was able to start XBMC again. I have since changed my machine to a static local ip address and have not seen the issue again.

Looks like you have a corrupt add-on. Try uninstalling XBMC, deleting the XBMC folder under %APPDATA% and reinstalling.

I stand corrected. I'm glad that it is working for you!
Unfortunately, I have never run into an issue with the skin resetting. Then again, I don't get to mess with many new skins as my wife is trained on Confluence and doesn't like change. She about killed me when we left the XBOX with the 360 Blades theme to Confluence on a Windows install...
