Winamp Crashing When in Media Library

Hello Listers,

A friend of mine with partial vision is helping someone with their PC. He 
installed Windows XP, SP3, upgraded to the latest JAWS, version 9.0.2169 I 
think it is, and Winamp 5.5.41. Now, when he goes into the Local Media section 
of the Media Library and either single or double clicks on a file that Winamp 
is pointing to, he gets that "Winamp has encountered a problem and needs to 
close." message. He says that this is now happening with earlier versions of 
Winamp, at least back to version 5.53. He says that when JAWS isn't running, 
Winamp works just fine.

Anyone heard of this kind of behavior before? Unfortunately, running Winamp 
without JAWS is not a viable option for the person  who owns the computer 
because she has no vision.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Evan
