winamp causes screen resolution and color-depth to be changed
 

Hi,

when I start Winamp the screen resolution of windows is changed to 640x480, color depth to 8-bits and monitor refresh to 60Hz.
As soon as I close Winamp the settings are restored to what it was before.
This was the latest winamp as of last saturday (dec 17th).
The video card is an NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440 with the latest drivers (updated them to try if that would solve anything)

I did a clean install of winamp, tried without new skin support, tried without everything, only winamp base. I cleaned out the "program files\winamp" dir.

dxdiag shows everything is correct (directX 9)

What can be the problem, what else can I try?

Thanks in advance,
Sander

Using WinXP? Sounds like one (or more) of the compatibility modes has accidentally been set...

1. right-click on a shortcut for Winamp 5
2. select Properties
3. select Compatibility tab
4. make sure resolution, color or other compatibility settings have not been selected.

Nope, unfortunatly that was not it.

Please provide additional system specifications, including a Hijack this log.
