Thank you for the reply. Your answer pointed me to the url as a posible solution. After fumbling around for hours with every combination i could think of, i hit upon a lucky solution. I accessed my browsers cached pages using about:cache on the url. I was then able to access a cached version of my admin settings page not yet affected by the skin error. thankfully i was able to change to a default skin, then apply the fix. it wasn't the cleverest solution, but i will take it.
