Hi all,
First of all, sorry for the cross posting. I need urgent help, please, see below. I had major problems using Winamp with Windows Vista such that I had to uninstall it and use Windows Media Player for now. However, I don't like Windows Media Player; it's too cluttered, and not as keyboard friendly as Winamp. The major problems I had were: 1. Every time I close Winamp, I am asked to send an error report to Microsoft. This did not happen on my old XP machine. 2. Some dialogues, such as the Winamp Preferences dialogue box and Jump to Time dialogue box, are not as accessible as they were on my old XP machine.
I've tried to use both the modern and classic skins, with the same results.
This was using Winamp 5.5.
I am asking, therefore, has anyone successfully used Winamp on a Windows Vista machine? If not, can you suggest an alternative player that is both keyboard friendly and not so cluttered?
Thanks in advance for the help.
