Thanks, Mark. alt n didn't seem to do it, for my copy of version 5.541 at least, but playing around a little, I discovered that hitting just n by itself while in the equalizer window will toggle it on or off. Thanks much. Now everything is fabulous with Winamp once again, and I've learned quite a lot today.

However, the equalizer is turned off. I've toggled the window open, but nothing happens when I fiddle with the controls. A friend of mine says that he thinks it's turned off by default because it uses up CPU cycles. Well, that may be true, or it may not be, but it's seems a little stupid, since if I open the equalizer window, the odds are pretty good that I probably want to use the equalizer. Anyhow, is there a way to turn this back on without sighted assistance. Someone turned it on for me before, but I would like to be able to do it for myself if there's a way. In the list of global hot keys, there's one for toggling the equalizer, but it's not defined. And my Window Eyes 6.1 won't cooperate with me when I try to define it. It just becomes inoperative and stops talking when I tab over to that section where you enter the key combo you want to use. Then, it won't let me tab out of it, or do anything in the preferences. Is this another one of those occasions where System Access to Go will do the job? (By the way, will the script for WE 7.0 help with this at all?) Any advice? Or do I just need to get someone who can see to flip the graphical switch? Thanks much for any guidance. My Winamp is rocking once again! I just want to get the equalizer to function, and then everything will be perfect. Evan'
