Winamp 2.76 and previous, eating my mem!

Jay-Zebra · 18th September 2001, 01:32

Running w2k pro, winamp increases memory usage by 30k/s! And theres no end to it. Winamp then becomes invisible in tasklist and no processes are shown, it's a perfectly blank page where there should be lots of processes. Is this a known bug, or does my system nead a reinstallation? Help me I hate using mediaplayer to listen my music.

There are ZERO memory leaks in Winamp on any platform, any leaks would be from a plug-in
