[NJTechDiv] unresponsive something on PC.

[Mario Brusco]

hi Ken, Winamp may not necessarily be the problem even though it might 
seem that way. There are two other possibilities that may be occurring 
here.

Either the song files themselves are becoming corrupted, or the Seagate 
drive is becoming corrupted

I don't know of any real way to repair corrupted files except to 
download a fresh copy, which in your case is not going to be easy unless 
you can manage doing so.

I believe Seagate has a free utility that should be able to scan for and 
repair any corruption on the drive. It should be available from their 
website. Be weary of getting the utility from other sources.

Alternately, if you don't feel up to doing it yourself for what ever 
reason, you can see if there is a local computer shop near you or a 
computer tech you trust who can run the utility for you for a nominal 
charge, or if they're nice, they might do it for free.

I know of someone who had a similar problem, and the problem was that 
her Seagate hard drive was becoming corrupted, and she had a computer 
tech who ran the utility for her, for no charge.

Hi list ken here on a closer examination on my computer I think I have
found the source of my unresponsive computer to refresh memory back in
January my station playlist software and my media player which is winamp
were stopping I tried to correct it by uninstalling and reinstalling but
it didn’t go away.  I have found a work around by running Ccleaner and
disc cleanup and restarting the PC before a show so it doesn’t happen
during a show but it continues as it has three times now while listing
to the playback of yesterday’s show.  I’ve let it happen and not tried
to restart the player or get the wait for the program to respond
button.  It has now stopped responding for a fourth time.  I have left
my Seagate drive opened while listening a few time the thing not
responding is the Seagate drive. Whatever is pointing winamp to the
music files is randomly becoming unresponsive and when it does suddenly
winamp has nothing to point too.  And by default it stops responding it
has now stopped for a fifth and sixth time what script is unresponsive
and how do I correct this so I don’t have to reboot and run cleanup
before every radio show.  This has suddenly cropped up I did a repare of
windows with Microsoft accessibility that didn’t fix it. Any ideas?
