winamp crash

esosj · 2nd July 2007, 20:09

I am able to start up winamp, and play 1 track. As soon as the first track is over, or I try to skip to another track, my winamp crashes and an error report message appears. I have tried to reinstall winamp twice now with no luck. Changeing the skin back to the normal modern skin type seemed to fix the problem. Sadly, it did not. Half way through the second track, it crashed again. I also noticed that my winamp crashes when I try to change the color scheme. WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! Someone please help, I am dieing without my music!

If I do a clean install, and my music is not backed up completely, wont i lose alot of my music files?

no you won't, when you uninstall Winamp it only deletes what was installed by Winamp installer, if there are files that aren't from winamp like third-party plug-ins or music or video files the uninstallation program at the end tells you that there are still some files on the winamp folder you need to remove manually

So no, you don't lose your music.

Don't put your music in the same folder as Winamp. Infact, never store any media or documents under Program Files, EVER.
