Winamp "not responding"
 

I did a clean install of winamp 5.3.5. I used the shared user option when installing. Winamp froze upon first opening it up after install, and freezes every time I open it. I have uninstalled completely, deleting all files and reinstalled, but it keeps freezing.

I am running an HP Pavillion a1240n,
Windows XP Professional SP2
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2CPUs) with 1GB RAM
SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Video card is stock
DirectX version 9.0c

I've attached my plugin list.

Anyone?

was winamp running fine before and it just started acting up?

hmm, what are you doing when winamp freezes? is it playing music (type) or video? or just freeze automatically upon opening?

this just may be my opinion, but lighten up your install. go into winamp plugins folder:
delete ml_pmp.dll and all of the plugins starting with pmp (unless you are using any of them for portable devices)
perhaps also delete ml_wire and ml_dash

I've had winamp on this computer before, but my sound card drivers got messed up and I ran HP Recovery so I had to reinstall all of my programs. Winamp would freeze just opening it up, not playing any files. I installed again and deleted the plug-ins you suggested and it works!! Thanks a million! I've been without my favorite media player for quite sometime now.
