You must be running in at least High Color (16-bit color depth) mode to enable skinning support. Otherwise, you're stuck with the "Low Res" skin...

It looks like you're having problems with your graphic card. Are you sure it supports all those hi-res and hi-color modes ?

What is the model of your video card ?

Probably you have to update your video card and/or your monitor drives...
What is your video and monitor configurations?
