Crash on start of winamp 5.0

[no1joe]

I just upgraded from winamp 3 to 5.0 final..Well it crashes on startup all the time. The only way i can get it to run is to delete the ini file everytime which is annoying cuz i lose my settings. Any ideas? im contemplating going back to 3 i though 3 was way better (dont know why everyone else didnt like it), only thing i really upgraded for was the global hotkeys and jump command back. I miss my multiple playlist thingy inside the playlist editor

Cheers Joe

Sticky: Full Uninstall -> Reinstall procedure

Read the whole thread, including the very last paragraph.

Based on the lack of information provided, that's about the best I can do for you...

[no1joe]

I did a full uninstall and installed 5.01, and i still have the problem...

ive narrowed the problem exactly down to whenever i set always on top i get a crash next load

my system specs are:
gigabyte mb
p3 550
384mb ram
sb live value
windows xp on admin account

the error i recieve is
application error
instruction 0x00418042 referenced memory 0x0000000c. memory could not be read

[DJ Egg]

So you installed 5.01 in a brand new folder?
ie. there was definitely no remnants of Winamp3?

What is your videocard?
What other software is running?
Sounds like a possible conflict...
Anything like nView, Litestep, Winspace, sDesk, etc?

As recommended, a StartUpList log might help us determine any such conflict

i have the same problem.

i installed winamp 5.01 (full), then it works until i restart windows. after that winamp crashes before it starts. the only thing is to reinstall winamp. then it works until restart of windows again.

in taskmanager i can see that winamp starts. but until the interface appears, drwatson opens and the winamp task disappears.

i have tried to reinstall winamp but it still don't work.

my computer is a laptop (p4 2,4 ghz, 512 mb ram, ati radeon mobility (m6) and crystal sound chip) that runs winxp pro.

anyone a suggestion how to fix it?

thank you!

speedy

[no1joe]

my vid card is a geforce2 mx
none of those programs you mentioned are on here that i know of

I'm not 100% sure what this is,
but at a guess, it's an adult dialler.
If you know for sure that it's not meant to be there, then disable the entry in msconfig,
then after rebooting, physically delete the file:

You should download/install/update/run both:
Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware 6.
The combination of these will get rid of all spyware/malware.
Run Spybot S&D first, and Adaware afterwards.
Update & Run them both regularly.

These are the other entries in your startuplist which could be causing conflicts/problems. They are definitely not required to be running:

RealOne Player's evil updater service.

You should disable this item in:
start -> run -> msconfig -> startup tab

Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't mysteriously keep re-enabling itself.

The following are totally harmless, but there's always the possibility that there could be some kind of conflict going on.

CloneCDElbyCDFL = "C:\Program Files\CloneCD\ElbyCheck.exe" /L ElbyCDFL
NeroCheck = C:\WINDOWS\system32\NeroCheck.exe

As these are both CD-ROM Drive related apps, maybe there's a conflict going on with Winamp 5's Sonic Burning/Ripping Engine?
Unlikely, but not impossible.


Though, if anything, I'd suspect a potential conflict with Winamp modern skins to be caused by this... maybe?

However, more than likely, all your problems are being caused by the spyware/malware/trojans/diallers/etc.

Let us know how things are after running Spybot S&D and Adaware.

[no1joe]

hehe i knew youd say sometin about the spyware entries...most of that stuff isnt running cuz i deleted the files..and didnt worry about registry...ill clean up everythin nice and see if any change

[no1joe]

yay i fixed the problem..i investigated nview..despite not using two monitors and thinkin that it wasnt used i looked into the geforce settings and found i had desktop manager on turning this off fixed the problem. No probs for me since i dont need it but perhaps the winamp team should fix this for people who do need it

[DJ Egg]

Known problem.

That's why I asked if you were running nView in my first post.

Autorun entries from Registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

NVIEW = rundll32.exe nview.dll,nViewLoadHook

Hmm, I must've been blind


Note: The problem has also been reported to nVidia.

[akammaru]

look, I think that might not be the whole problem, nice I am not running Nvidea but ATI. even so, I dont ue anny of the graphic stuf, and now the thing is I can restart Winamp cus it crashes. I see the screen of the ERITATING promotion stuf for 50 free MP3's, if that is gone, so is Winamp. no crash report nothing.

ps. why that stupit program HAS to be isntaled in the setup. I HATE IT. it is like spyware it self. it is on my desk top, in my start menu, on my WINDOWS hard disk and it is in the running task list. like I dont have to do better things with my RAM. even thou I have 2.4 GB. I NEED IT!
(sorry needed to loost that.)

(and it stil doesnt word after I reinstal or delete the .ini)

[thewallradio]

has anyone ever had it play a song or song in a half and just disappear? no warning just stop (like it has better things to do. it will be playing fine and then poof gone no error message nothing. the when restart it won't staay running. Anyone?
