Winamp Stuck In Taskbar

ChumpyChimps · 28th June 2000, 09:39

Umm.....HELP!!!! I can't get my Winamp to maximize. It is stuck in the taskbar. I've tried the main window thing..nothing. I tried restarting my puter...nothing. I've looked at the options for something...nothing. I've tried everything. Somebody please help :-(

Seems I have solved my own problem LOL I had to reinstall completely. If there's another way to fix the problem I had, I would really like to know.

I had the same problem. Right click on Winamp that is stuck on the task bar. Go to Winamp and then choose MAIN WINDOW. This will restore it to normal. OR you can use Alt + W to accomplish the same thing.

When I was having that problem, I tried what you had mentioned, but that didn't work either. I couldn't find a solution that worked, so I just did a full re-installation. I haven't had that type of problem since then, and don't want to again either LOL

Chumpy - 18 years late but what fixed it for me:
Close winamp
edit winamp.ini
set the following:
taskbar=1
minimized=1

then the Alt-W or right-clicking and selecting main window worked.
