View Full Version : System freeze, with endless music loop.

Hi, I use winamp with playlists. When I start one, eventually a song will go into an endless loop. It seems to take a portion of the song (about 1/4 second long, but the length varies from each time it happens), and just constantly repeat it. And the system freezes, to the point that the mouse won't work, ctrl-alt-del won't work, and all I hear is a repeating portion of the song that was playing at the time. I have to do a hard reset of the system.

This has been happenning for the past couple of years or so, ever since I started using Winamp, and I've just lived with the problem. It can happen 5 minutes into the playlist, or it can be playing for hours before it happens. I just upgraded to V2.71, and it's still doing it.

By the way, I have a PII 400, 4 gig HD, 40gig HD, 192Mb ram, Win98, Diamond viper 32meg video.

I'll appreciate any ideas about this!
