Media Library Error and Crashing

Areagne · 26th December 2005, 15:37

My library now says whenever I look at it, "Error intializing database !!! : (". It started happening recently and I upgraded from 5.11 to 5.12 and it's still like that. Also, it'll play one song and then if it automatically is supposed to go to the next on (as opposed to clicking on the next button) it will close. I don't know if this will help, but this is the error signature it has

AppName: winamp.exe AppVer: 5.1.2.275 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1106 Offset: 00001f72

I'm using Windows XP Professinal.

As for the "Error initializing database" error message, you should go to Preferences > Media Library > Library Options > Modify Settings and check the box that says "Do not load database at Winamp start-up" (temporarily). Then with Winamp closed, head to Winamp\Plugins and delete gen_ml.ini and the ml directory. This should fix your crashing. Be sure to uncheck the "Do not load..." option.

As for the error in ntdll.dll, read here.

Thank you. I tried the deletion of gen_ml.ini way and it still wasn't working, so I ultimitally just cleared my media library from within WinAmp and it's fine again. I also downloaded the clean ntdll.dll from that site.
