    Sounds like the skin you have tried is not compatible.
    Whilst the box is trying to start ftp into usr/share/enigma2 and delete the skins folder ( directory).

    Then the box should reboot into the default skin.

    right some basic questions, this stuff is fairly new to me!

    using filezilla - what protocol do I use to connect? ftp ftps .. also will the box require a username/password?

    Cheers

    Do you have a usb flash drive present? If so, unplug it and try that see if it now boots up.
    To use an ftp client, you need to know the IP address of the receiver and the Username is “root” and the Password is left blank.

    How are you interacting with your receiver to make the changes you have mentioned?

    openViX chose a different skin now box wont

    By the way, why are you renaming/removing skins?

    Edit,
    I see earlier post. Please don't do any more renaming until you get a log file.
