disapearing winamp

kdschafer · 21st September 2004, 11:49

Hello again. I have another problem with Winamp. When I click on Winamp to start it from my start menu I see the Winamp lama logo for a second then the player will flash in front of me for a second and then disapear! This started happening after I installed Evil Lyrics (which I enjoy and have had before with no problems). Instead Evil Lyrics pops up and there's no way to control Winamp. I decided to uninstall Evil Lyrics but I still have the problem with Winamp. Help?

Close winamp.
Delete studio.xnf from your winamp program directory
Delete winamp.ini from your winamp program directory for good measure.
Start winamp again.

That should return it to it's default installation state.

if you still have problems after that, then look at the dodgy third party plugins you have.

By the way, this is a forum for people to show/make/ask for advice on skinning winamp, not general tech support help.

Pardon please for being on the wrong forum. I must plead ignorance. The thing fixed itself somehow. If it hadn't, what you told me to do is greek to me. I would have asked: how do I get to the winamp program directory??? Thanks for your help.
