I haven't had any trouble with winamp until this week. I don't know what precipitated it, because I haven't installed any new applications, and nobody else uses my computer. I don't have a virus, all I have running in the background is Explorer and Systray, and I just installed winamp 2.62 today, to try to fix the skipping. No such luck. Here is the information I have gathered.

first time trial
1:25
3:24

second time trial
2:00
0:10
2:09
0:32
2:31
0:54
2:54
1:18
3:19

the time denotes when it skipped, all playing the same mp3.

3:36 total length of the mp3

averages about 2 minutes in interval
skips for approximately 1.5-2 seconds.

sounds like a stutter, like "ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chemicals between us"

I have boosted my buffers up even to the maximum allowed according to other forum postings, and nothing has helped. I would like to avoid reinstalling winamp, if anyone has an idea to solve this problem. Thanks.
