Getting an error message "Studio caused an error"

DAR3 · 12th January 2003, 05:48

Hey,

I installed Winamp about a week ago and it's been working fine. Today it just suddenly closed on me. When I opened it again it had changed to the default skin (I had MMD3 on) and I couldn't load any playlists. When I tried to add a file I'd get this error message:
"Studio has caused an error in " when trying to open a file.

In the FAQ it says that when you get that error msg "If you installed the Winamp2 Input Plug-in Support component,
Update or un-install it. " But I never had Winamp2 so I don't know what to do

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the problem is still there, it worked fine for 5 mins and then I get the error msg. It's strange 'cause it had been working fine and now this

Please help!

did you uninstall... then delete the winamp3 folder (to reset all the settings?)

save your skins if you going to do this

Thanks. I uninstalled again and did a search to see if there were any elements left, and there was a winamp.ini and another one. I deleted those and reinstalled. I'm not sure if it was 'cause of that but it seems to be working fine again

Thanks you!

I did that, but after restarting the OS I got the same problem...

I installed Winamp3 with Winamp2 still on my computer and I downloaded the Winamp3 update. I closed down all programs and tried to run Winamp3, it successfully opened and I tried to add a file. I got the "Studio error in " message. I've tried uninstalling and installing again. Nothing works. Is it because I still have Winamp2 on my computer, or something else?

Ok. In your case, with that error, it's a little different...

Winamp3 Trouble-Shooter Guide > Winamp3 FAQ

"Studio has caused an error in " when trying to open a file.
If you installed the Winamp2 Input Plug-in Support component,
Update or un-install it.

Also, after you perform this procedure, you can keep Winamp2 and Winamp3 together on your puter (as I do) and should have no problems.

I don't know if this will help anyone else or not but this is what I do when I start having the "Studio has caused an error in (unknown)" error message.
I go into the folder Winamp3 is in and delete the two following files.

*\Winamp3\db\metadata_{2478B07C-0CA5-4615-8DB7-896F03AD4D28}.ndb
*\Winamp3\db\metadata_{2478B07C-0CA5-4615-8DB7-896F03AD4D28}.ndx

If you don't find that exact file you can try moving the files that are similar to that one to a different folder until you get the desired effect.
When you restart WA3 it will create new files to replace them and WA3 works for me just fine until I start messing around with new plugins or modifying files.
