Winamp process opens and closes instantly

[Nanner]

Hello everyone,
I've been searching around on google and on the forums for a while now but haven't seem to find an answer to my problem.

I've just installed Winamp on my Windows 8 Pro but I can't manage to open it. As I said on the title, I see winamp.exe opens on the task manager but closes a few seconds after. Nothing shows up outside the task manager, not even an error message.

I've used winamp on this computer before, but on windows 7, so my initial bet was it was this OS's fault. I've tried running on compatibility mode but no luck.
I've already unninstalled and reinstalled according to the info provided on the troubleshooters FAQ but again with no luck. I've also tried installing+running with both my AV and firewall down.
I'm not using any plugins, it's a fully fresh install.

I checked the Event Viewer to see if I could find any error logs and I found a few. They all say pretty much the same:
