Upgraded to 2.81, Now Get Download Dialog instead of Stream

Windows ME on a Compaq laptop.

Just upgraded from 2.80 to 2.81, after hearing about the security patch.

Process was to uninstall 2.80, then install 2.81.

Problem, when I click on a Shoutcast stream, instead of launching and playing from WinAMP, I get a file download dialog now and have to explicitly choose OPEN, every time I click a shoutcast link with a .pls extention.

I have checked to make sure PLS is selected as a registered file time in WinAMP's preferences and it is. But for some reason this new version is not recognizing PLS extentions. Is this due to the security patch or did the install go horribly?
