Hi, Herman, open up winamp, and then go to preferences with control p, then go to the top of the tree-view with your home key, and down arrow once to general preferences, and once there, tab to the check box that says check for new versions of winamp at start-up, and uncheck the box, and tab to the close button, and press the space bar, and you won't get the new version update message anymore. --Original Message Text--- From: Herman Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 23:06:44 -0000 Hi Gang, How can I stop the message that keeps popping up everytime I click on a mp3 file, asking whether I want to update to the latest version of Winamp. I am using winamp5.12, and I don't want to update to winamp5.2, or, 5.21. I just cannot find the part to disable that message. Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Regards, Herman. Marty
