Hi, I have a problem with that software and I dont know is because my OS is damage or need to me repair, or if winamp has a bug.

I use winamp - shoutcast to streaming.
Well after 1 hours of use winamp, suddenly the software crash and need to be closed using control - alt - supra.

I think was only me but:
all my djs has simillar problems.
they use Windows XP sp2 and I use Windows XP x64

Also I tested yesterday ina windows 98 computer and same problem.

Now I have another computer a P4 computer which is 90% empty
its has: Windows XP sp2 , msn mesenger 7.5 and winamp - shoutcast

Well in that computer winamp works pretty fine.

So what can I do?

Does it crash regardless of user? Admin and non-admins?

EDIT: And does it happen in safemode too??

At this time same winamp - shoutcast problem happened in more than 7 computers.

90% or winamp crashes happened when DJ change winamp recomeded mode to soundcard mode( this mode is needed when DJ want to talk)

I remeber 1 DJ, new pentium 4 3.0GHz computer
everytime he changed : winamp recomeded to soundcard option, well winamp crashed.
Because of that he is not a DJ any more

I wish I could be of more services but I've not worked with either of those pieces of software.

So...

Check out this link. This sounds like a similar problem.

Also, here's the Shoutcast forum of WinAmp.

p.s. Oh... and don't tell them you're running software you didn't purchase! ; )

OMG O.o
Looks like this is a bigger problem than I thought
So problem wont be resolved at this time

But someone know a tip regarding this problem?

Yeah, doesn't sound like you're the only one. They do mention a different product called "OddcastV3" Have you tried that software??
