I need other ppl to try using this skin to see if it's just me, I haven't seen any comments on it describing a crash. That, and I'm installing it exactly as the readme says.

Please try using it and tell me your results. Don't forget to backup the files you replace, I've re-downloaded L4D twice already.

Here's the link:

FPSBANANA > Skins > L4D > Weapons > Punisher 1911's

I've been trying to get it to work for a couple of hours now, and if I reverse the changes the game runs fine. I must not be installing it right...anyways, I'm appreciative of any help. I sure hope I can get this cool skins to work.
