Winamp opens up very slowly

umiyz · 20th August 2006, 17:56

Hi,

I am having troubles with Winamp.
I really love to use it but i cannot.
It takes ages to open up this program.
When i open it up it takes like ~2 minutes untill it is open.
I hope this is not a problem with my computer because all other programs are working fine except this one.

I have WIN XP SP 2
More info on attached File.(right click to download & open up with winword)
Thanks

Regards,
Umit Durmus

Did you try a clean install?

I done a clean install yes.
Before i formatted my computer i had the same problem.
And after, which is now. I am having the same problem.

I had a similar problem, however my delay was only 15-20 seconds, but this could just be differences in hardware.

I worked from a clean install of the free 5.24 pack, Winamp had never been on this computer.

I have a DVD burner and a CD burner (the other computer I tried it on only had one and it wasnt effected so Im not sure if this is related)

I found if I uninstalled the Nullsoft Rip & Burn V1.0 plugin (under Preferences - Plugins - Media Library) that Winamp loaded in a second or so. Which solved my problem but I guess you lose your rip and burn ability from in winamp.

Let me know if it works for anyone else.

15-20 seconds is an aweful lot of seconds.

I have noticed that if you remove certains .w5s files from the System folder, Winamp starts much slower. Just an observation.
