oh god. help, please.
Aloha and hola to all denizens of the Winamp forums who are kind and/or bored enough to assist this tortured n00b.

Firstly, my knowledge of Winamp is very limited; I know how to download skins and visualizations, and tinkering with the buttons eventually taught me what switch did so-and-so...and that's about it. So, a short warning that my problem may be extremely simple to remedy. Please excuse me if that's the case!

Now, the actual problem: I close the visualizations I've downloaded (and maybe the set that came with Winamp 5, can't remember for sure), but they restart as soon as the next song/movie/etc. begins, or if I manually open a file to play. Though it's easy enough to close the window again, it thoroughly irritates me to have to keep closing the visualizations window everytime a new song starts on my playlist.

If someone could take the time to help me, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Thanks. =)

Winamp menu - Options - Preferences - Plugins:
Uncheck 'Auto-execute on playback'.
