Hi there, everyone. I am just subscribed to this list, and I have a
question that needs an urgent answer. Winamp is causing me much trouble
under Windows Vista Home Premium. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it
several times, and the problem is still there, whatever I try. Here is
what's happening: Winamp will not keep my settings. I have a favorite web
destination that I like to visit, and the site has an m3u file that streams,
just like Main Menu on Demand, a site with which I'm sure some of you are
very familiar. The first time I go up to the site, Winamp comes right up
and plays the file. After a re-boot, Winamp forgets how to open such a
file. This means that the m3u file comes up and winamp says, "So and So.mp3
stopped. It will no longer play the file, no matter what I do. It also
does this with .pls files, and I can't understand it at all. At this point,
I'm stuck using Windows Media Player 11 for my audio needs. I have
unassociated the file type, reassociated the file type, told Winamp not to
restore file settings on start, and I have told it to restore said file
types. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, as noted above, to no avail.
Can you all help? Is anyone having such a problem with this combination:
Windows Vista Home Premium, E-Machine with Realtech sound device, Winamp
5.35 full version, Window-Eyes, etc. etc. All discussion is appreciated
very much.
