DLL error when loading winamp
 
Every time I run winamp 5, the following message pops up:

The application or DLL c:\windows\system32\wmaudsdk.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

Winamp then loads normally and works perfectly except it will not playback .wma files. I've tried reinstalling winamp( full install ) a few times, but the error is always there. wmaudsdk.dll is in my system32 dir and is 160k, last modified on 8/9/99. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

edit:
figured I should include some system info =)

Currently running WinXP with media player 9 and all the most recent windows updates installed.

try adding WMA to the list of extensions in the DirectShow plugin list, and delete the old WMA plugin, or disable it, by renaming it (eg. in_wm.dll.off). If that doesn't work, come back and someone more experienced may be able to offer another suggestion.
