Winamp locks up upon

[paulbearer]

Wizards, techies, fellow brethren of the MP3 underworld...





I gots me a problem. I only recently experienced this problem too....
I have about 525 or so MP3's, and they're all on one playlist. When I double click a song, or sound file, 3 times out of 5 winamp will lock up, and ctrl+alt+delete closes it, but it does no good as it is that windows then screws up too. The play button does not change the lock up error. it will either:
a)instantly freeze, never to move again, thus inciting a reboot to occur
b)flash the counter numbers and then lock up.
but I never hear a sound, SO I've concluded that the player locks up before the sound starts, I guess when the actual command is given to play.
I am using Nullsoft wave out v. 2.3 (OUT_WAVE.dll)

nullsoft diskwriter 1.0 (OUT_DISK.dll)


Nullsoft direct sound plugin v2.0 (OUT_DS.dll)


nullsoft WMA output plugin v.90 (OUT_WM.dll)

for the input plugins I have:


nullsoft MPEG audio decoder 2.71d IN_MP3.dll



Mjuice secure MP3 decoder x86

Nullsoft Module decoder 2.2.2 x86 (IN_MOD.dll)

I have a few others but those are for other things

this didn't use to happen...either it's the winamp version or the fact that I have 500+ songs...my guess anyway.
I am running a
Pentium 2, 233 mHz w/MMX
10GB partition for the MP3's
w/64 MB RAM.
I might add that winamp never skips and never does anything else nasty when it does work.

thanks much...
