New Docked Toolbar error with 5.54 and modern Skin
 

Hey,

I recently updated to 5.54 from 5.531. Since then I got an error everytime I closed Winamp (Don't know how it's named in english Windows. The errormessage where you have the option to send details to microsoft => see attached screenshot). Today I additionally recognized that winamp was constantly using a lot of memory. About 150MB. So I went through the forums and most people solved the memory problem by reinstalling winamp from scratch. Then I deinstalled it completely and reinstalled it. The crash-problem still consists and now I have the old "docked toolbar doesn't save its position"-problem again too. I had this in an earlier version, but it was fixed with with an update some time ago and before the fix I always had to rewrite some passages in the studio.xnf file after an update.
Atleast the memory usage is down to 60MB now.
Been trying to find a solution to this for hours now, by myself and by searching this forum, but nothing came up for 5.54. I also scanned my computer with my anti-virus, some spyware tools and Highjackthis had nothing to complain about either.

In details:

- Install winamp 5.54 to standard directory
- Enable winamp modern skin support
- Use winamp modern skin
- Turn on windowshade mode
- Enable docked toolbar -> bottom in windows settings
- Disable auto-hide
- Arrange playlist and media library on screen as you like
- Close winamp
- Winamp crashes
- Rerun winamp
- Nothing was saved due to the crash
- No additional plug-ins or skins are installed and were removed before reinstallation!

My specs are:

Windows XP SP3
Athlon 3800 X2
Nvidia 6800GS
Onboard Realtek Soundchip
Asus A8N-SLI SE board

Note that all drivers are up to date!

Any solutions?

Hi,

Ok if anyone has the same problem. It seems so far I finally fixed it myself by uninstalling and reinstalling the "online services plug-in" and the "now playing plug-in". I don't know why, but this procedure solved the problem. Winamp now saves it's settings and doesn't crash when closing.
I thought of these plug-ins, because they have never worked properly in the first place. Always some javascript errors and stuff (the same with some other IE based plug-ins by the way). My IE allows javascript though.
Memory usage is back up to 90MB. Too much for a media player in my opinion. Earlier versions were much lighter than this 10th anniversary edition. Or does this subtitle mean winamp is using 10 times the amount of RAM a media player should?
Well, I think I'm simply going to deal with it -- as long as my machine has enough free rescources to listen to music with winamp.
