Re: [all-audio] Winamp Error Reporter
JM: Am leery about uninstalling Winamp for fear that I don't know if I can get it back! I used to have something in my "favorites" that was a link to old versions of stuff, but am on a different computer now and don't have that w3ebsite anymore! Someday (if I can get help) I wouldn't mind hooking my old computer on line with this one; this would allow for me to maybe move things off of the older computer to this one! I absolutely _must_ do something, for every time I play a music file, I have to go through the process of saying "no" to updating Winamp; then closing the site...and then closing that report dialog (says error report or some such thing that I'm not recalling right now; is a royal pain in the ***!

What I would do is try disabling stuff like programmes that run at startup and stay in background and see if the problem goes away. A fresh install fo winamp could also help. Maybe the problem could be caused by a broken winamp plugin as well. Disable unneeded plugins and see if the problem goes away. You will probably want all the output plugins as they are, but definitely some of the others are probably unnecessary to you. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: December 28, 2022 5:28 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] Winamp Error Reporter Actually, maybe II wouldn't mind getting the update reminder; what I _do_ mind is that doggone error message; then it says something as to something has crashed (is it Crash reporter?

Re: [all-audio] Winamp Error Problem
Hey. Well, that's certainly not supposed to happen. I don't know about the nVDA error but if ctrl-shift-escape doesn't work, something has been messed up with windows. That keystroke should work anytime, anywhere...even if file explorer has crashed and is unusable, that keystroke should work to open task manager. If you can get to task manager some other way, maybe something else is trying to hijack that particular keystroke. A rogue NVDA add-on? I have no idea. Maybe this is something worth posting posting to the NVDA group. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Howard Traxler Sent: December 29, 2022 5:50 AM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] Winamp Error Problem Hey JM, When I start the task manager this way, ctrl-shift-escape, my machine freezes up.
