Annoying Error...

Joely · 16th March 2003, 11:33

I'm not exactly sure which category this problem falls under so sorry if i've posted it on the wrong Board. There's so many in this place anyway.

Upon starting Winamp3 I get an error message that reads:
__________

Assertion Failed

Expression: f->ptr filesize
File: C:\projects\studio-488c\Ns_database\Vfs.cpp
Line: 149
__________

With the options Ok and Cancel. It doesn't matter which one I press, Winamp still closes down either way. So other than uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing again I thought maybe someone with a lot of knowledge about Winamp errors could give me a hand. If you know anything at all on how to get joely's winamp3 working again, you gain the biggest

from me!

Line: 149
Delete the contents of the "Winamp3/db" directory. This happens when the database gets corrupt. Currently there appears to be no safeguards in Winamp3 for this.

Thanks a bunch Nunz!

It's working nice a smooth now.

I guess I should have looked in the FAQ first though.

Thanks again!
