Shoutcast PLS downloads but doesn't play in Winamp

Anyone come up with a solution to this problem yet?

I'm using IE 5.0 (not 5.5) and Windows 95. I don't get the "open file from current location" window, but it does try to open. Then in the WinAmp Playlist I get:

1. Temporary
2. Internet
3. Shoutcast-Playlist (1)

But no sound/connection.

If I paste the Shoutcast URL into a "file open", then all is well. I'd prefer, of course, just to "click" to listen on the Shoutcast page without going through the copy/paste.

I don't have this problem listening to streaming audio from MP3.COM.

Never had this problem before. Only since I got a new computer and reloaded latest versions of Winamp and Realplayer (everything still works fine on the old computer). I already tried the posted file association "fixes" (other than messing with the Registry).
