Not due to Winamp. It is system related...

Title: General Protection Fault or Invalid Page Fault in User.exe
Category: Windows/System Related

This error may have several different causes, usually due to low system resources or available memory.

To resolve this issue, close all programs. If you have been opening and closing a lot of programs in this Windows session, exit and start Windows.

In addition, close programs that are running processes in the background.

"I got a message that there was an update available for somekind of plug-in to do with the filing system, so I don't know if it's this plug-in that's causing the problem, or what"

Which plugin exactly? It's possible/probable that this or another 3rd-party plugin is the cause of your problem. Try a clean install of Winamp 5.08d. See here for further info.

[EDIT]

If it WAS the Jump to File plugin, then go to:
Winamp > Prefs > Jump to File > Enqueue Options tab
Uncheck "check for new version when Winamp starts"

Or if you can't open Winamp, go to the Winamp folder
Open winamp.ini in Notepad
and edit the following line accordingly:

[Jump To File Extra]
jtfe_autoupdate=0

(a value of "1"=on, a value of "0"=off)

Thanks, all!

I'm quite certain it was the 'JTFE'-"Jump to File Dialog and Playlist Editor" that I was alerted as to a new version being available. Also, I was wrong about my mother board. It's a BioStar and I think the sound chip is a Via, though I doubt any of that matters.

I have 765Meg of Ram on this machine. Would this not be enough? I also run a program called 'MemTurbo' that is supposed to keep my RAM all sparkling clean and refreshed, perhaps like a gargle of RAM mouthwash? I haven't had any prolems from it that I am aware of, although MusicMatch JunkBox seems to vie for some resource/resources that MemTurbo uses and will become unstable, or crashevery so often. Do you know if there are any issues with WinAmp and memory management programs? I'll go ahead and try the reinstall. My Winamp 2.8, I think it was, was quite stable, but I never got used to it's filing system. I think I've finally figured that out, now. Thanks.

I've had WinAmp running for about an hour, so far, and all seemed to be working well, but now can't control volume with slider control. I haven't unistalled/reinstalled, yet, though.

I seriously doubt JTFE had anything to do with it. Although created by a 3rd-party developer (DrO), JTFE's been included as part of the distribution of Winamp since v5.02. Therefore, it's not really considered 3rd-party (something you installed independently). Probably low system resources or available memory at the time you experienced the problem, and perhaps that is no longer an issue. You may have had too much going on at once at the time the problem occurred, and another 3rd-party authored plugin could have also contributed to the problem, as Egg indicated above.

In any event, to get the volume control in Winamp to work independently of the system volume, switch your output from waveOut to DirectSound instead...

CTRL+P for Winamp Preferences > Plug-ins > Output > highlight/select DirectSound [out_ds.dll]

If the problem's gone, don't worry about it, but a clean install can't hurt and may prove to be beneficial.

The volume control problem was somekind of quirk. After a little while, I was able to adjust the volume back clicking on the slider, again. I have just uninstalled it according to the 'Clean Install' instructions and am going to re-intall it. Am going to reboot and then re-install and see what happens. Thanks!
