Winamp freezes randomly

ThatGuy16 · 07-15-2007, 07:38 AM

anyone else have this problem? it happens on every computer and every version of winamp i have tried, i hate it now...lol. Now when it freezes on my new sytem i get like artifact lines and i have to hit the reset button, do you think winamp in the culprit here?
Just wondering if someone else has this problem or if its just me

Considering you're saying you have tried multiple versions of Winamp on multiple machines, this is a very odd problem.

Do you have any other media players running at the same time, that could cause a resource conflict?

Do other media players work on these systems?

When im try using winamp thats the only media player i will have open, any other player works just fine...wierd if you ask me lol

Definitely weird. I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling, but you've obviously tried that.

Grasping at straws, but maybe just make sure all your MB drivers are up to date. Sorry I have no better advice.

And are you using any particular codec set that may be causing the issue?

I probably do need to update my mobo drivers....or did i? lol
Well it normally freezes watching videos of any format. I dont have the problem with music. I can watch the same videos with Windows media player no problem...
