Just in time-debugger

[Nagoon]

Shortley after installing Winamp I got a messagebox telling me about this "Just in time-debbuger" and I couldn't use Winamp at all. After some cursing I reinstalled it and it worked just fine, until this messagebox shows up again after some usage of the player. Can i fix this somehow?

I use Winamp 5.5

Close Winamp

Go to your %AppData%\Winamp\Plugins folder

Open gen_ml.ini in Notepad

Change the following line accordingly:

last_view=Local Media/Audio

currently, it's probably set to one of Dashboard or Now Playing.

Save gen_ml.ini


As for why the error is occurring...

Now Playing, Dashboard, Online Services are just embedded Internet Explorer pages.
Maybe you've disabled Internet Explorer, or your security settings are too high?

You should be able to disable the JIT Debugger in Internet Explorer, via:
Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced tab:

Checkmark both "disable script debugging (IE/other)" options
Uncheck "display a notification about every script error"


Or go to: Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
and disable Visual Studio JIT Debugger, if listed.

Look for a service that points to one of the following executables:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\vsjitdebugger.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\vs7jit.exe

"Open gen_ml.ini in Notepad"

Can't do this. When i open the file i can't read the code.

"Or go to: Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
and disable Visual Studio JIT Debugger, if listed. Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
and disable Visual Studio JIT Debugger, if listed."

And I can't find these options. I use the swedish version of XP so there could be some translations problems, but i think there should be a similar name.

gen_ml.ini, not gen_ml.dll

Because you didn't include a List Of Plugins, I don't know what your exact Winamp $IniDir is.

By default, Winamp 5.5 stores settings in the %AppData%\Winamp folder,

which on English WinXP resolves at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Winamp\plugins\gen_ml.ini

Settings will only be saved in the Install Dir (eg. C:\Program Files\Winamp) if you upgraded from a 'shared settings for all users' installation (as opposed to a 'separate settings per user' installation).


It will probably help for you to go to:
Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab
Uncheck: Hide extensions for known file types
Checkmark: Show hidden files & folders

(you can always reverse these settings afterwards, if you want)

Now you should be able to find the %AppData%\Winamp folder (%AppData% is a hidden folder, by default), and also see the .ini extension (and all other file extensions).


Re: Services
The JIT Debugger might not be registered as a Service.
That's why I said "if listed".

You should be able to disable it via Visual Studio config
(assuming you have MS Visual Studio installed?)

I have this problem too. I tried everything that DJ Egg said, but nothing works. It pops this up every time I try to start winamp :S

Well, it helps a little to know that I'm not alone with the problem, but not a great deal. It is really annoying. Isn't there someone from WinAmp to help here?

I'm still waiting to see a HijackThis log and a List Of Plugins (use the standalone version if you can't get the One For Nunz plugin to work).
