It is indeed in preferences. Your right kind sir. When you open the preferences, it is under general preferences. Keep tabbing until you get to the check box that says check for updates. This check box will be unchecked. Check it so that Winamp will not check for updates. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jose" <crunch1@xxxxxxxxx> To: "real eyes list" <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 07, 2010 5:05 AM Subject: [real-eyes] win amp question ok this should be pretty simple but somehow it's not.
