-Third party plugins: none
-Used skin: Winamp Media Player 11 v1.0 (third party)

Method of repdroduction:
1) Add songs into Winamp (Drag & Drop or 'Open')
2) Close Winamp
3) Move or delete the tracks previsouly added to playlist
4) Start Winamp and play any of the tracks (which have been deleted but still in playlist)
5) Winamp causes Windows to crash. It hangs where you can not run any other software; if try to start task manager screen turns black after some and desktop comes back after some seconds but Windows still does not respond so only restart helps


- Freeze also occurs when double clicking an .m3u file with MP3 files which are not available (for e.g. moved to other folder or located in USB drive not connected)
- Problem is the same with default Winamp modern skin and Winamp default English language pack.
- Tried to run Winamp with Windows 7 compatibility settings but this results in a "Guru Meditation" error

Have you reproduced the error on multiple computers? I'm curious if this happens with the 32 bit version of Windows 7. It shouldn't matter, but sometimes it does.

As a Vista 64-bit user, I don't get a crash when Winamp attempts to play files that don't exists. It just skips them.

Have you tried the options to "remove missing files from media library"?

I uninstalled it
No more problems.
