High Ron, To answer both questions, yes for question #1. And no for question #2. I did discover though, that there was some kind of a Microsoft file missing that Winamp 5.57 needed. So I told my computer to download it automatically for me, and that seem to fix the problem for me. But thinks anyway, all of you. My best regards. John. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Canazzi To: winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 10:15 AM Subject: Re: WINAMP 5.57 and SOME OPERATING SISTEMS Hi John, Wow! I never had that issue. I am also running XP SP3. I wonder if you have full administrative rights on your system or if there is some sort of security software blocking your installations. ----- Original Message ----- From: DJ DOCTOR P To: winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: PC audio discussion list.

I'm still running Windows XP Service Pack 3. I guess you have to have either Vista and or Windows 7 an order for you to install Winamp 5.57 on your computer. If I'm wrong about this, then why am I getting a message that says, "this software will not be installed, please contact your administrator. Testing logo, this logo has not passed the compatibility for Windows XP." But the thing that gets me about that is, I am logged in as the administrator. Thinks for the answer to this question in advance. John.
