Hi Marie,
In the Jaws help under popular applications, Winamp is listed. There is
a link about optimal performance by excluding certain components when
doing a custom install, one of which is Winamp Agent. The other two are
modern skin support and visualisation, so you are right to choose custom
install.
It might be best therefore to uninstall and then reinstall excluding the
three components I have listed above.
Also, I don't need the scripts any more as winamp works fine with Jaws 8.
Regards,
Robert

Subject: [jaws-uk] Winamp 5.33 and latest update of j.8
As some sites wouldn't let me play their contence because they found my
version of Winamp was too old, I updated it yesterday to 5.33.
I chose the custom instal as I thought it would allow me to choose which
components I installed because I knew installing the agent would mean
trouble.
I installed the scripts as found on the Whitestick site.
I've checked that the scripts are loaded and they are but now, Winamp
behaves very strangely.
Jaws informs me on opening the programme that no windows are opened. I
can read from insert+t that I am in the player window. ctrl+tab takes me
to the library window but I cannot open the main window of Winamp with
alt+w as instructed when I check for available hotkeys.
I've checked that the skin is on classic and it is. I cannot access the
main preference menu, only the one related to skins. Jaws reports
unknown script.
I've tried the programme with v.7 and the accessibility is even worse
even though the scripts load correctly.
I suspect that the Winamp screen is cluttered by the agent. How can I
get rid of it?
If I have to re-instal Winamp, which installation option do I have to
choose to have the option of not installing the agent?
Should I uninstall and go back to a previous version? in this case,
which one works best with j.v.8 latest offering?Sorry for all the
questions but I'm a bit frustrated here and wish now I hadn't updated
winamp.
Your thoughts and comments very welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
Marie
