Windows 7 RTM problems

semen · 12th August 2009, 03:55

I've installed Windows 7 x64 RTM (final version). Before I had Windows 7 x64 RC. Now Winamp doesn't work without launching with administrator privileges. And now drag & drop from Explorer's or TotalCommander's window doesn't work (trying drag & drop music files).
Using 5.56 (also tried 5.551).

Windows 7 is currently not supported.

Drag & drop won't work because you are running with admin privileges. That's a Windows security feature. I'm running 7 x64 and I don't have to run with admin privileges to get Winamp to work, so you might want to try to set yours back to normal. I only run it as admin the first time I start it after installing so I can set associations etc. I don't know if it is necessary, but I do have 'Restore file associations at Winamp start-up' unchecked just to make sure it doesn't bother me at every start up(Preferences>File Types.)
