The most strait-up noob answer I've seen in a while! The Advice is perfect.

I checked out the your links and they all say turn off the "RLE compression" What is this?

in gimp when you save something as a .tga (the only accepted format in the skinning world) it prompts you with 2 checkboxes, the first is one with RLE compression, gotta uncheck that or else you end up with a munge error.
