There are a number of reasons why you could be encountering issues with Skin.inf. Most of the issues concerning inf files involve Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. These types of Skin.inf errors can be cause by hardware problems, outdated firmware, corrupt drivers, or other software-related (eg. Sony PC Companion update) issues. Some of these errors include:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: Skin.inf.
:( Your PC ran into a problem that it couldn't handle, and now needs to restart. You can search for the error online: [BSOD] (Skin.inf).
<strong>STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (Skin.inf)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x00000050: PAGE FAULT IN A NONPAGED AREA (Skin.inf)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (Skin.inf)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL NOT LESS EQUAL (Skin.inf)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000003B: SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION (Skin.inf)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0×0000007A: KERNEL DATA INPAGE (Skin.inf)</strong>
In the majority of cases, you will encounter Skin.inf BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (Sony PC Companion), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to Skin.inf Blue Screen of Death errors. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a Skin.inf Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Skin.inf to your appropriate Windows system directory. Sony Mobile Communications typically does not release Sony PC Companion INF files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing Skin.inf and all other INF files for Sony PC Companion. An incorrectly installed INF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
