Please post system specs. With that information please include the names of any third party plug-ins for Winamp (if any). We can't help you with out that infomation.

Anyways, my suspicions are centering on a corrupted media library database file. While Winamp is not running go to the Winamp Media Library folder (usually C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ml) and delete the contents. If you have any media library playlists back them up by copying or moving them to another folder. Media Library playlists have a randomly generated filename.
Example: plf****.m3u (where **** represents a set of numbers and letters).

That method will clear the media library data. If you rather not do that please post system specs as stated above and hopefully I or someone else can come up with an alternative bug fix.

Hey, I've been having that same problem for months, and I was very annoyed with it. I tried what you suggested and it did the trick. Yay! No more winamp freezing up! Thank you very much!!
