MMD3 skin
 

i uninstalled all versions of winamp and installed rc666 onto my omputer. but like any other versions of winamp5, i still wasn't able to use the MMD3 skin. however, i was still able to use other winamp3 skins but i just cant use MMD3. MMD3 is such a great skin! can someone help me?

Did you do a clean install of Winamp5? Have you tried WA5-final? Did you redownload MMD3? What do you mean by "i just cant use MMD3" exactly? Does it crash? Not display? System specs?

-j

they just say that winamp hs generated an error, i will try the final version.

i uninstalled the previous version and installed winamp5 final. but i still cannot use the mmd3 skin

Do a clean install of WA5 final, and download MMD3 again from the website.

Then report back again :)

what do you mean by clean uninstall and clean install. i just go to the start menu -> winamp -> uninstall???

Uninstall Winamp completely.

Make sure the directory is deleted after you uninstall. (Program Files -> Winamp)

Then reinstall, and download MMD3 from the Winamp website. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't work after that :p

oh god, i tried what you said but it still canot work

What version of Windows are you running? What is the exact error message you get?

this is the message i get:

Winamp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I am currently using XP

Update all your drivers for everything. Video card, sound card, Windows Update etc etc etc.

XP Home? Pro? Service pack?

home.. but the problem is i can use other winamp3 skins but just not MMD3

Are you SURE you've downloaded a clean, non-corrupted version of MMD3 from the Winamp website? From what you've said, this is the most likely cause of the problem...

i dont know, i just d/led the skin from the winamp website..

did you download again after installing your fresh copy of Winamp 5?

yesh

Well in that case, I'm stumped.

I'm still not convinced that you've actually installed a clean copy of both WA5 and MMD3 though... :p

i really did. i uninstalled the skin and winamp. and i downloaded a new winam5 installer and also the new MMD3 skin, but it jsut doesn't work

How weird. Someone wiser than me's going to have to take this one on.



*squints sideways at DJEgg*

;)

well, maybe i will try update my drivers and everything as you suggested and then i will report again.

Just go to windows update and update everything.

What are your specs.

And since this is reproduceable for you tell me excatly what you do to get this error. Seeing as this skin works perfectly fine for me.

cya,
Will

I have a feeling that its a bad download of the skin.
what is the size of the skin file? (it should be 995KB)

im also having problems. clean install of wa5 final, clean download of skin, etc etc. my problem however is that it doesn't display the main window. i can bring up the playlist window, color themes, EQ, but no main window. it is checked saying it is being displayed, but i get nothing. it is a real stumper for me. all the other wa3 (or should i now say modern type skins :D ) work fine. any suggestions 'cause i can't figure it. normally i would delete studio.xnf but i looked and didn't see it. doesn't mean it wasn't there, but i didn't see it at the time.

the size of the file is 995kb. when i open the skin, nothing comes out, a window just appears telling me that winamp has generated an error

by the way, i have updated my computer but the skin still doesn't work

Do you have a 3rd party download accelerator/manager? If so, temporary disable it and try downloading the MMD3 again. Before downloading delete the "bad" copy of the MMD3 skin.

i tried what you said but it still didn't work

You might want to try contacting Sven Kistner the author of MMD3 skin. He also developed the Winamp Modern skin. If you go to the skin browser (Ctrl+P > Skins) and click on the Winamp Modern skin his e-mail address will appear skin info box.

ok..

yeah... im not having nearly the same problems. any ideas for mine?

It should be in the Winam 5 folder, usually C:\Program Files\Winamp depending on where WA5 was installed. Delete the file while Winamp is not running. Try closing down Windows and reboot the computer if you can not see the Studio.xnf file.

hmm... i'll take another look, maybe i just missed it

/edit
yep... just found it. i swear i am blind.
