Winamp crashes after opening

BradyBunchFan · 15th November 2018, 11:51

After downloading the new beta version of Winamp yesterday, it immediately crashed right after opening and gave me an error report message.

Tried installing it again today with a different theme and it's giving me the same thing.

Does that Outlook error come up at the same time or is it unrelated?

Well I haven't seen anything like that before, all i can suggest is the following:

Uninstall Winamp using the facility in Windows.
Go to C:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Roaming and delete the Winamp folder there.
Reinstall Winamp into it's OWN FOLDER, ie override the target on the install program to C:\Winamp.

See if that makes any difference.

It did make a difference.

I love winamp! But I tried to download the official new version 5 and it crashes when I try to add my media library.

Can someone provide a link to the most recent previous version? Never had this problem before
