It's alittle hard to figure out these sort of problems with out physically being able to play around on your PC.

Do you download a lot of music? Do you have a lot of programs open or other things running when you are using winamp?

How much ram do you have?

Ok, well i mean what else are you doing when you try to run winamp? If you are working then you probably have multiple programs up and running, if you are using Vista and have multiple programs open that are eating up your memory and then you try to load winamp with a lot of songs that is going to cause your pc to hang up.

Have you ever tried just opening winamp by itself and running it to see what happens?

First of all answer following questions (most of which were already mentioned by Stang02GT)------>

1. Which Windows OS are you using?

2. Have you ever tried just opening winamp by itself and running it to see what happens?

3. Do you have a lot of programs open or other things running when you are using winamp? If yes, please list their names.

4. If I'm not mistaken then you should also have Windows Media Player installed by default on any present Windows OS. Try switching to Windows media player and play MP3 in it. Post back your observations.

5. Which Winamp version are you using?

Once you post answers to these questions, we will try to help you out [if we can :=)]
