Flac Does not open in Winamp?!

cuzsal · 27th August 2010, 06:43

Ok this is a odd problem I have no idea how it started, Flac used to play just fine, last time i played a flac file was months ago went to play one yesterday i double clicked it and it opened in windows media player, i right clicked it and did open with winamp, and it opened in media player, I have uninstalled the codec pack i use(shark007) and tired same thing, reinstalled everything same thing, i did a registry clean, same thing.

winamp is set as default to play all audio files, all play just fine, if i drag and drop a flac file into winamp is plays, but if i double click it it opens in media player, no idea what the problem is, any help be nice, this is kinda driving me nuts i like my audio on winamp and video on media player lol,

I use windows 7 x64

assuming you using 5.581... preferences -> file types, make sure 'fla' and 'flac' is present and checked in the list, then holding the control key and go to another preferences page or close the preferences and it should cause a UAC prompt which is forcing a complete refresh of the associations Winamp has set. hopefully that will resolve it.

i do have 5.581 that didnt work, in windows it show winamp as the default program to run it, even the icon is the winamp one, if i drag and drop it it plays fine, if i double click it, right click and do a open with winamp it just opens media player and plays on that

could the flac codec be bad? how do i delete it, i did do a unistall of winamp there any way to check reset the codecs manualy?
