Minimize/Restore Problem in v5.093

DJFirewolf · 13th July 2005, 22:55

After Winamp is left by itself for a while minimized in the system tray, I recieve an Windows error message when I click on the Winamp icon. It's happened several times to me, playing or not playing a song. I've looked around for an answer to this problem and found nothing. I didn't install anything recently to make this happen and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program. I originally thought it was the skin I was using, so I switched to the original classic skin, but it still happens. Please help!

When you un/reinstalled was that a full uninstall > reinstall (AKA clean install) of Winamp.

No luck? Please provide system specs. What do you have for third party Winamp plug-ins (if any). Are you using a desktop enhancer or shell replacement (DLGXRsizer, yzshadow, nView, Litestep, Samurize, StyleXP, Windows Blinds, Perfect Menu, Aston shell, Winsize etc.)?

What's the details of the error message?

Here's my system specs. I just did a clean install of Winamp and haven't been using third party plugins. I also have no idea what a desktop enhancer or shell replacement is, so I doubt I'm using one. I'll post the error details if happens again.

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

Toshiba
Sattelite
Mobile Intel
Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz
3.20 GHz, 448 MB of RAM
DirectX 9.0c

The only thing of concern that I could find in the HjT log is LimeWire. LW is known to install spy/adware. Someone else (probably DJ Egg) may find something that I did not find.

You may have not noticed the edit to my reply, where "What's the details of the error message?" was added. So please post a reply with the details of the error message. You may see something like...

Winamp caused an error in ?????????

Well, it hasn't done it since I did a clean install, so I think it may be fixed now.
