[JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
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. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
I hope that message apears in a form of dialog box. Just tab to no button and hit enter key. The dialog box will disappear and your current position will be on winamp and you will be able to close, pause and perform other functions with the different commands assigned to that application.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
Ranjana, This is not a dialog box. I have been using Windows for well over a decade now and I am very familiar with Dialog boxes and other methods of dismissing programmes. This stupid thing doesn't even have a method of selecting to download the update. Thanks for trying but I would appreciate it if people don't know the issue or don't have an answer that they keep the unnecessary list traffic to themselves.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
Hi Dale, There is a winamp listif you want to join? I'm not at my home pc at present to verify the address, but if I recall correctly, one posts messages to: winampforthebl...@freelists.org and perhaps each word in the username starts with a capital letter. If you can obtain the subscription syntax to a freelists list, you'd be able to join. Also, I believe Chris Holswith, who is also on this list, is also a member of that list and is very knowledgeable about winamp.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
ctrl+F4 DOESN'T work WITH THIS. . You probably need to ctrl-alt-del on that window. However, most of these updates are a good thing, because of security holes, etc. So I'd let the update go through, or find it and install. then uncheck the update Winamp at startup checkbox (which john has mentioned). - Original Message - From: "Dale Leavens" To: Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
No normal method to close ever worked for me. I would have to go to the task manager which would always show WinAmp as 'not responding'. As I said in a previous message, that one version, unchecking the 'check for updates' would always revert back to checked the next time the program was started.

I agree and it never worked for me as well and I had to close the program by going to the windows task manager. But of course the update box appears only when you are connected to the internet.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
Actually it does. Only issue could be it's functions being largely oriented towards internet. But of course one can play files off-line as a guest user, but it has some limitations. Although not sure of the exact limitations of the guest user since I always used it online. Vetri.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
You might try using an older version, I am using both 2.8, and 5.04, versions of Winamp, with no problems whatsoever. Of course, what you use will depend on what your particular audio needs are. Trying to use one application for every need, is not always the best solution. There are alternatives to Winamp, on both: www.blind-computing.com and www.jaws-users.com HTH, Rick Justice - Original Message - From: "Adhimoolam Vetrivel Murugan" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
That is why you go into winamp's main window, control + p, go to general, and tab to updates and un check it. then you close and never see it again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
never had a problem doing that in any version. At 11:02 AM 10/28/2009, you wrote: 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.

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message?
Dale- Is your version 5.41? That was when my problem with that screen started. I have 5.33 and 5.4 if you want either.

Well, none of the offered methods have worked for me. Another odd thing is that I don't see where to download the update on the site. I thought I had it but nothing happened. Is there any particular reason why, after all these versions they haven't decided to make the base version a standard Windows application? I mean, there isn't any good reason why they could not have standard menu bars is there? - Original Message - From: "Don and Cher Bosch" To: Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 2:08 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I dismiss the Winamp Update message? > That's very interesting- especially I have never had to do that with any > previous versions.
