Winamp 5.531 shut down message in Vista 64bit OS

Cleoschild · 2nd July 2008, 13:32

I am running MS Vista 64bit. Winamp seems to run fine, but when I attempt to open the Media Library from either the View tap or the ML button on the dashboard, it opens to say it is loading. Then in 3-5 seconds a message box from windows that says, "A problem caused the program to stop working and windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." The version works perfectly in my Win 2k OS on my notebook. Help!

works fine for me.

perhaps you have a bad third party plugin.

I had done an uninstall & reinstall: once from the download on the computer in question & once from the download on my laptop where Winamp works fully in a Win 2K before I contacted you. Those were installed to the D drive. This morning, understanding the vagaries of MS windows, I followed your suggestion and attempted to do the operation again. I was not paying close attention to the install and it automatically installed on the C drive where Vista is also installed intead of the D. Viola! Winamp works. Thanks.
