Strange problem - only title bar of main window visible

FireballFlame · 25th July 2008, 04:23

Hello!
I'm writing here because I've encountered a big problem I wasn't able to solve yet:
Since a few days ago, Winamp doesn't show the main window anymore, only the top part, when I'm using the "modern" skin (which is the only one I like).
It looks like this: http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/6...nampbuggg3.png

I'm not sure how it happened ... it's possibly the fault of some virtual-desktop-program I tested (and already uninstalled again), but I need to know how to fix this. I tried rebooting a few times ... switching to other skins and back, and changing some settings, but that didn't work. Then I hoped installing the newest version would help (I "overwrote" the old one), but unfortunately it didn't help either, so I'm running out of ideas ... except maybe uninstalling it first, and then reinstalling it again

With Winamp closed, delete %appdata%\Winamp\studio.xnf to restore default modern skin sizes/positions.

Could be the 'studio.xnf' file is corrupt.

Try this first, otherwise do a complete uninstall/reinstall.

Close Winamp.
Start > Search > Advanced options > show Hidden/System files > Search for studio.xnf and delete it.
Winamp will generate a fresh copy next time you run.

Yayyyyy!!
That file was the problem! I tried changing some lines at first, rather than deleting it completely, and it worked, so I could even rescue my window layout.

Thanks for the help!
