Does Winamp play okay if you open/add files from within Winamp?
(via: Main File Menu -> Play -> File / Playlist Ed -> Add button -> Add File/Dir)

Can you drag files from Explorer windows to the playlist ed & click "Play"?

Is "Enqueue" the default action? (Winamp Prefs -> FileTypes)
Check that the command line for "Enqueue" is correct:
Windows Folder Options -> FileTypes -> Winamp Media File -> Edit
In "Actions" field : Hi-lite "Enqueue" -> Edit
Correct Command Line = "C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" /ADD "%1"
(assuming you've installed Winamp to the default dir)

Also, if the filetype you're trying to play isn't actually associated with Winamp, then check these out in the same way too!
btw, What filetypes are you trying to play? Are you sure Winamp supports them?

Re: Playing more than one song at a time:
What do you mean by this exactly?
If you're only using 1 instance of Winamp, you can only play one song at a time anyway.
If you've enabled "Multiple instances" (Prefs -> Options) or have opened a new instance by using the shortcut key : Ctrl+Alt+N
then, depending on the capabilities of your soundcard, you'll need to use the DirectSound Output plugin instead of WaveOut (Prefs -> Output)

I also take it you're using the default installation of Winamp & haven't installed any extra 3rd party plugins? Which version do you have & is it the Full, Standard or Lite version?

Please include full sys specs in your reply:
CPU + Speed | RAM | Soundcard | Videocard | Win OS | DirectX version | Browser + version | plus a list of any other programs running concurrently (including background/systray) | plus anything else you think might help/be pertinent, eg. Virus Check, etc.
Do you have the latest drivers for Soundcard & Videocard?

Answer these questions & we'll take things from there.

YES

NO that is the problem, I can only drag one file to winamp, from the moment I want to drag more then one files (ex: I want to drag 3 files) it doesn"t work
And if I want to listen another song after the song is ready I have to close winamp en re-open it.. veeeeerrrry stupid hehe )

NO


Check that the command line for "Enqueue" is correct:
Windows Folder Options -> FileTypes -> Winamp Media File -> Edit

I don't have the folder FileTypes...

In "Actions" field : Hi-lite "Enqueue" -> Edit
Correct Command Line = "C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" /ADD "%1"
(assuming you've installed Winamp to the default dir)

Also, if the filetype you're trying to play isn't actually associated with Winamp, then check these out in the same way too!
btw, What filetypes are you trying to play? Are you sure Winamp supports them?

YES it are all mp3files so..
and I have to say: Untill today I have had no problems at all with winamp it's just since a day or four that I have this problem...


Re: Playing more than one song at a time:
What do you mean by this exactly?

I mean that if I have song1.mp3 and song2.mp3 in my explorer field and I want to drag those two into winamp I'm not able to do this. (and before, this always worked that's why I don't understand why it doesn't work anymore..)

If you're only using 1 instance of Winamp, you can only play one song at a time anyway.
If you've enabled "Multiple instances" (Prefs -> Options) or have opened a new instance by using the shortcut key : Ctrl+Alt+N

INDEED

Which version do you have & is it the Full, Standard or Lite version?
FULL version and its 2.27

Please include full sys specs in your reply:
CPU + Speed | RAM | Soundcard | Videocard | Win OS | DirectX version | Browser + version | plus a list of any other programs running concurrently (including background/systray) | plus anything else you think might help/be pertinent, eg. Virus Check, etc.
Do you have the latest drivers for Soundcard & Videocard?

The last section was probably the most important, RE: Full sys specs, programs running, virus checker, latest drivers for soundcard, etc etc; and you didn't answer any of it!

You can try removing the WINAMP.INI file from your Winamp dir.
Make sure Winamp is fully closed first. Next time you open it, a new INI file will be created with all the default settings.
If this doesn't work, uninstall (via Add/Remove Programs Control Panel), make sure your Winamp dir is empty afterwards, then do a fresh re-install.
If this still doesn't work, then your problem is a bit more deep rooted.
Please give full details of the error message, ie. what does it say from within the "Details" button? (eg. What exactly has caused an Invalid Page Fault in what module, etc).

btw, Windows "Folder Options -> FileTypes" isn't a folder.
You can access it via : "Start" button -> Settings -> Folder Options

Top tips:
Winamp Playlist Editor -> Add button -> Add File/s
In Open files box, hold down Ctrl key & then click the individual files you want to add to the playlist. You can select as many as you wish this way.
By holding the Shift key and using your kybd cursor/s, you can select 2 or 3 or more files that are listed together alphabetically.
