2.78 will NOT run in my new Windows XP!

kbs36 · 29th December 2001, 22:09

I upgraded (?) to Win XP last night. Then I decided to upgrade my Winamp, but as soon as I try to play a song Windows give me a message like "we're sorry but we encountered an error and have to shut down now....." I tried disabling 3rd party plugins, still shuts down. Fortunately I was able to reinstall my older version 2.7 and it seems to work fine. But I tried the 2.78 several times, and no luck. Please someone help.....Thanks! P.s., running an HP 8665, 256 ram, 600 mhz proc, riptide sound card.....
