[gui-talk] winamp 5.5

[albert griffith]

I use the same version without difficulty.  However, it asks you to install
a remote component, a tool bar, agent, and an advertisment for Emusic.  You
need to decline all of these offers.  It may be easier if you just
uninstalled the program, deleted the Winamp files from programs and beegan
again.  You also will want to select the installation method that gives you
the most control.  I just can't think of the name of it right now but you
will when you see it in the installation options.

Subject: [gui-talk] winamp 5.5

For those audiophiles on the list, I just purchased winamp 5541pro to get 
rid of the annoying little message asking if I wanted to upgrade every time 
I played a song.
I tried running it and while it played the song I selected, I discovered I 
could not exit the application by hitting alt+F4. I tried a number of things

to get rid of the process and finally resorted to using the task manager and

hitting end task.  This completely hosed my system -- everything froze -- no

sounds played, even system sounds, and since I had no idea what was 
happening without seeing the screen, I did a hard reset.
Now things are back running, but I'm afraid of listening to any music.
Did I make a mistake buying this thing? Is it known to be inaccessible? If 
so, I wonder if I could get my money back.
In any event, I need to reassign all the file associations if I don't want 
this winamp rearing its ugly head every time I need a media player.
Any help is grreatly appreciated!
I set it up with classic skin and installed everything except some agent 
that I didn't quite know about, as I didn't want an agent cluttering my 
startup.
I hope I can use this thing.  If I get it running I'll tell the list.
TIA
