Winamp - skipping and crashing

gunshot glitter · 12th January 2005, 18:27

hi

I've searched the boards and I can't find anything relating to my particular problem...

Today every time I open winamp, it is fine and happy until I press play. After a few seconds the track skips like a scratched CD (when it's music from my hard drive), then winamp crashes and closes. It does this regardless of what track I play, I've restarted my computer and I really don't know what's wrong with it?

I recently installed an Audioscrobbler plugin for it, but it's worked fine with this for about a week so I'm not sure whether this is relevant or not.

Can anyone help? Many thanks

hmmm...

From the Common Issues section of the Troubleshooters Sticky...

Audioscrobbler plugin crashes Winamp under WinXP SP2 (user32.dll):
Search | Get fixed v1.18 here.

No luck? Try the DirectSound config tweaks.

Hi, thanks for your response

I updated the audioscrobbler plugin and changed the config; still the same problem

If you have not done so already update the sound drivers. If you have a soundcard go the manufacturer's website for updates. If you have an on board sound chip, go to the website of your computer provider or the manufacturer of the mother board. Close down and restart the computer after installing the updated drivers.

There are other crash fixes/tips in the Troubleshooters Sticky. Have you tried a full uninstall > reinstall of Winamp. Still no luck? Please post a reply with system specs.

Hi - I've totally uninstalled Winamp and re-installed it and it seems to have sorted it out. Thanks
