Upgrade Popup Message

Melman · 27th February 2006, 15:13

I have the new 5.2 upgrade version, and yet, when I start Winamp, I continually get this annoying message.

"Winamp 5.2 is now available for download.
Upgrading is highly recommended" etc., etc.

How can I make it go away?

When did you download 5.2 exactly? A few days after the new installers were first available on the servers, a slightly newer build was uploaded which fixed some minor issues. Maybe that's what's causing it...
Either that or the update checker has gone weird...

Prefs (Ctrl+P) > General Preferences > uncheck 'Check for new version of Winamp at startup'

I cannot seem to get into the back room to make the changes.
Any suggestions on retrieving my username and password?

Not sure what you mean. Username and password for what, exactly? You shouldn't need a username and password to change Winamp settings...? (only the settings for Online content ratings can have a password)
