problem with winamp.pic file

Docqualizer · 9th January 2005, 04:10

I just wanted to pass something along for those using the newest version (5.08).
When playing MP3's earlier this evening, they began to freeze for 3-5 seconds, then would continue. Suddenly, I heard my hard drive clicking. I immediately stopped winamp and ran chkdsk on my hard drive. It looks like the winamp.pic file got corrupted. I immediately backed up my skins file, deinstalled, deleted the winamp dir, and did a clean reinstall. It seemed to work fine.
Has anyone else run into this?
All previous version to this one NEVER had this issue.
This is just really a "heads up" that I wanted to pass along.
