Winamp won't start

Linkmaster94 · 19th June 2007, 02:19

So, I upgraded to Vista roughly two weeks ago, and have been getting all my programs and things all configured to it. So, I start Winamp today. Nothing. So, I try it again. It opens this time, but freezes as soon as I click on it, and I can't recover it at all.

I've tried re-installing about 5 times now, and it still freezes no matter what. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, should have mentioned that I have no 3rd party plug-ins, and that it worked absolutely fine before on Windows XP SP2. So, it can't my computer's specs...I'm at a loss here.

As much as I hate to do this, bump. I really need some help here...

Using the latest version of Winamp? (i.e. 5.35)

You could try disabling the following Winamp components to see if it is one of those causing the issue:

To disable the Sonic engine (Ripping/Burning support, known to sometimes conflict with certain hardware/software), move primosdk.DLL out of the Winamp installation folder, by default:
C:\Program Files\Winamp

Plugins that you could try disabling are ml_pmp.dll (Portable Media Player support), gen_ff.dll (Modern Skin support) and in_wm.dll (WMA/WMV support), all of which are stored in C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins.
To disable, move the .dll file out of the plugins folder.

Thanks for your help! I just had to remove the first plug-in you mentioned. Everything seems to be working just fine now.
