I only see a black screen
When I opened the visualization for the first time it worked fine. Later, I tried it again and all that appeared was a blank black screen. I tried re-installing winamp (full) and it still will not work. I also tried adjusting the color. What is the problem?

You didnt describe your problem properly so its difficlt to point out the problem, but heres what you can do:
1) Check whether a preset is loaded, if no preset if loaded then you will not see anything. Right click on the AVS screen and select any preset from the list.
2) Are you using fullscreen? On my pc, when I use Pixel doubling and resolution something X something X 32, I dont see anything.
3) Is the song playing? some presets are so made that you cant see anything if the song isnt playing. e.g UnconeD's energy ball.
4)If the above solution doesnt work, then try uninstalling winamp, then delete the winamp directory ( make sure you have installers for all the components you have downloaded ) and then re-install winamp again.

These are some of the common solution I could come up with. If it is anything to do with hardware, then sorry I cant help you.

P.S :- Make sure monitor is turned on ;) :p

Are you even using AVS. Visualisation is a vague word.
