Winamp Won't Load

recently winamp has been taking like 5 mins to load.
can't do anything with it until it loads.

it sits there showing just the top part of the player nothing else (no playlist or media library etc.) and clicking on what it shows has absolutely no effect. :(

then finally after about 5 minutes of sitting here waiting it opens up as if nothing different happened. :blink:


I've tried:

• Reinstall
• Uninstall then install it again
• Uninstall, delete whole winamp folder (along with any plugins), and delete all registry entries, then install again

None of these helped me at all, anyone have any ideas? :( Im using Winamp 5.03z btw i've checked at winamp.com and this is the lastest version (well, it was last night...)

edit: added a pic which btw im sorry it's so big just too lazy to cut off the right side...

try using the lite version and see of thats any better.

do you have alot of plugins installed?
i keep all my seldom used plugins in a seperate folder so winamp doesn't load a bunch of .dll's when run.

PS i still use winamp 2.95

lol i hate the old versions.

used to hate winamp so much but 5 came out and i started to like it more and more as i used it. now i love it.


i don't have any plugins anymore. got rid of them all and it didn't help (said this in my first post).

besides i only had one plugin anyway, it was the sound enhancer one...called enhancer :lol:


btw, i've been having problems with my prefetch, (keeps deleting itself for some reason, im gonna bring the thread back up) think maybe this might be causing the problem? :unsure:


@4play, what is different in the lite version? might try it later or tommorrow right now i gotta figure out the prefetch problem...

@4play -- You have the lite version? :lol:

You might as well not have winamp at all. :lol:

The solution :)

oh lol i thought the lite one would be some tweaked one by someone else.

nahh i doubt it will work, besides even if it does it doesn't have the skins i like...which is one reason why i hate the older versions.

the full one worked for me a week ago why not now? :(

Main thing is that the sound quality is shit. :angry:
then there is the bad theme, lack of a media library (hate playlists, never used them, never will), and more which i can&#39;t remember.

but the main thing is that the sound quality is horrible. :angry:
