Thanks for the warning, Chris. I have been using Winamp 5.5 on this XP machine
without
any problems and was about to install it on my Vista laptop this morning. But
after reading
your comments I will not rush into doing so.
I notice that they have changed the installer considerably and I don't remember
having the
chancce to select the Classic skin - which I always use But that should not
affect the
accessibility of the Preferences dialogue etc.
