Hey Tom. I understand part of what you're saying, but not why you need to use the old computer to get winamp. If you're missing the executable install, it's easy to find on the internet. Just download and install. As for the update thing, go to general preferences as someone mentioend a bit ago in the thread, and disable the check for updates box. That should get rid of that thing at least. As for the error, I suspect it's caused by some kind of conflict on your system; you might just have to start disabling things until you find the problem. Disable unneeded winamp plugins. Try disabling as many startup items as you can so that when your computer boots up it's as "clean" as possible. If the error goes away, you know it's one of those items, and you can start gradually re-enabling them until the error comes back -- then you'll know exactly what it is that's causign the ssue. But reinstall first.

I used to have something in my "favorites" that was a link to old versions of stuff, but am on a different computer now and don't have that w3ebsite anymore! Someday (if I can get help) I wouldn't mind hooking my old computer on line with this one; this would allow for me to maybe move things off of the older computer to this one! I absolutely _must_ do something, for every time I play a music file, I have to go through the process of saying "no" to updating Winamp; then closing the site...and then closing that report dialog (says error report or some such thing that I'm not recalling right now; is a royal pain in the ***!

What I would do is try disabling stuff like programmes that run at startup and stay in background and see if the problem goes away. A fresh install fo winamp could also help. Maybe the problem could be caused by a broken winamp plugin as well. Disable unneeded plugins and see if the problem goes away. You will probably want all the output plugins as they are, but definitely some of the others are probably unnecessary to you. -----Original Message----- From: all-audio@groups.io <all-audio@groups.io> On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: December 28, 2022 5:28 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] Winamp Error Reporter Actually, maybe II wouldn't mind getting the update reminder; what I _do_ mind is that doggone error message; then it says something as to something has crashed (is it Crash reporter?
