encounter a problem and needs to close error

RainbowBritz · 26th July 2004, 15:49

So I have 2 accounts on my WinXP Pro.. one is mine the admin and then a limited account. On the limited account every time I open wimamp it plays for about 10 secs then it will encounters a problem and needs to close. This is a clean install of XP and I have tried re-installing winamp a few times also installed the patch as well. I have deleted and re-created the limited user account. Tried mapping the .exe file for winamp to the start menu b/c it doesnt show there. It seems to only happen with version 5. I have v5.02. when I used the older versions of winamp like 2.78 and what not i could run winamp on both accounts no problem. there is nothing in the msconfig on either accounts 'cept what needs to be (like Zone alarm & NAV).
Any ideas anyone? Or should i just go back to the older version! haha

Also, you may want to upgrade to 5.03 (or wait a few days for 5.04).

I think I will wait for 5.04. Hopefully it will be compatible with multi-users. For now i just moved it to the shared doc's folder. thanks!
