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 :=)]

Agree with you on this........... .....

Hi, I've been looking for almost two full days now to get full control of WinAMP using python. Simple play/stop functions are no problem. It's the WM_COPYDATA that's used by IPC_PLAYFILE (=add a file to the playlist) that's giving me troubles big time! My latest test code: --------------------------------------- from win32gui import FindWindow

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
