I'm running Winamp 5.572, and I do see AVI as a supported file type. It's
listed in the Winamp preferences in the file types list. When I click on
an
AVI file in Windows Explorer, Winamp is the media player that comes up
and
plays it. Did you install the lite or standard version of Winamp? I don't
know if that makes a difference or not. Did you make sure that all of the
file type support was installed when you installed Winamp?
I'm also pretty sure that WMP supports fast forwarding and rewinding
through
the menus, hot keys or using the slide bar on the interface. I don't
typically use WMP though, so I can't be sure. Does fast forwarding and
rewinding in WMP work for you on other file types? My biggest gripe with
WMP
is that I can't figure out how to control the amount you jump in a file.
I
think it's based on a percent of the overall length of the file.

Well the simple fact is that AVI does not ppear as a supported file type
in
5.72 whereas it does in 5.32. In fact, there are only 61 file types with
which to associate as opposed to 67 on the earlier one. So it would
appear
that I'm hosed.
I wouldn't even mind except that I can't control Windows Media player,
I.E.
it won't fast forward or rewind.

Winamp opens as it should, the AVI file just doesn't play. But it
does/did in version 5.32, which I have on my laptop. Did we lose some
functionality with the later Winamp release? Maybe I should go back to
an earlier version?

I don't think so.
Back to my original post, have you checkd the file associations?
and ensured that the video setting are correct?
I'm guessing here, but it might be worth a shot.

Dave,
go to winamp prefferences.
start at the top of the tree with the home key.
arrow down to file types.
tab through the options and select the "all button"
Now go back to the tree view, and arrow down to video.
Tab through these options and make selections as appropriate.
See if that helps.
