Winamp Main Window Corner Only Visible

ph0enix1211 · 27th April 2004, 03:51

Hello, running winamp 5.03, clean install, shoutcast plug and geiss plugins only. 2.5 gig hertz, 512 mb ram, 32 mb geforce card ( just updated teh drivers in attempt to fix) , turtle beach santa cruz sound card.

all of a sudden my winamp opens, but only the top left corner of my the window is visible, the rest is gone and cant even click where the buttons are supposed to be. closeing/openning/restarting system won't fix. only a reinstall of winamp fixes, but it keeps happening again eventually. please help!

While Winamp is not running go to the Winamp folder and try deleting the studio.xnf file.

We could use some more info. Are you running any desktop enhancements/replacements (nView, Samurize, LiteStep, WinSpace, etc)? Is this happing with classic skin or modern skins. If it is modern skins, is it with a specific skin?

if I switch to modren skin, the entire main window disappears. No desktop enhancements, nview except nview, but it is disabled. any other ideas n e one?

Did you delete the studio.xnf file, as JonnyMac suggested?

I have no such file in my winamp folder, please help!

Please provide additional specs...
Windows Version?
DirectX version? (Start button > Run... > type DXDIAG > click OK > System tag)
Any changes to your system prior to the problem, such as installing new software?
Geiss version?
Have you tried temporally uninstalling the additional plug-ins?

Thank you.

Spec summary so far...
Winamp 5.03 clean install
shoutcast & geiss plugins
2.5 gig hertz, 512 mb ram,
32 mb geforce card (updated drivers) ,
turtle beach santa cruz sound card

Any else with ideas?

Did you already upgrade to Winamp 5.04?
Not sure wether that'll fix the problem, but it contains a lot of fixes...
When you're at it, do a clean install.
