I finally did the update due to the same issue. The older versions of WinAmp did not do this. For me the problem version was 5.514, I think. It drove me crazy too- for all the same reasons- and unchecking the 'check for updates at start-up' did nothing. Even though I would do that and close, the next time I ran WinAmp, it would have defaulted back with 'check for updates' checked once again.

Hi Dale, Can you close it with control plus F4 or control tab to the main Winamp window? Also if it is the update prompt I'm thinking of you can go to General under Preferences (control plus p followed by g until you hear "General Preferences" and tab through and look for "Check for new versions of Winamp at startup " and uncheck this box.

I have Winamp to play MP3 files and such. When I click on a file Winamp plays the file alright but I cannot get to the application to start and stop or pause or any of that because of this darn New Version message which will not be dismissed. ALT-F4 doesn't kill it, there isn't a close option on the Applications menu, there isn't a File menu or any other with a Close option, there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of it but to reboot. Second time in a given day it doesn't appear and I can go to the application and use the functions. This really is Malware, an application which takes charge and will not be terminated. So far as I can tell, the only advantage to having the new update might be to get rid of this notice and of course to fill up my computer with album art I suppose. Any help with this would be appreciated. Dale Leavens.
