Is that one specific skin that causes vlc to crash ? If so, can you share the .vlt file ? Changing skin doesn't usually cause problems, but a given skin might be buggy !
I've just installed and tested vlc2.0.5 on Win7. Everything works fine with regard to changing skins. I suspect your installation got corrupted somehow. I would suggest you clean it up and then reinstall vlc and see if the problem persists.
