Make sure when you right click on it > goto properties that the check box to turn on a illumination method that would not show the skin shading isn't turned on.

Thats the only thing that comes to mind immeditately :(

That caught me out once too. I know for a fact I didn't change any object properties between it working and suddenly not working any more, and I'd actually given up and gone back to a previous save in frustration before I figured it. It's happened again twice since too.

Thanks for mentioning that Iain, I was wondering if it was just me.

I had a similar problem in r4 where the mesh was turned pure black (view vertex colours being nulled to black then the check box coming on) -- I guess the best thing about that problem was that when when I ran into the r5 skinning problem I had an idea where to look ;)
