CPU? Memory? BIOS revision? Firmware revisions? Driver versions? Fragmented drives?

Check everything basically.

Hi!
If you haven't heard this already, you should go and change the visualization priority to idle,, that helps a bit, I myself have an Authentic AMD Duron 750, 256MB mem, radeon 64mb, and had the same problem, but updating all videodrivers and setting the vispriority to idle helped, and now there ain't a prob anymore :)

Good Luck,, You're gonna need it ;D

Try using it in Windows 98 SE! Winamp AVS NEVER crashed my computer! :)

Maybe Winamp doesn't like your PC, AHTOH! :D

Nope,, I think it was my servermachine linked to it that bogged out my no1 machine,, memory usage 98% + CPU usage 70% when idl :P
And my Coolermaster was disfunctional also,, now everything is cool with my bucket'o'bolts :)
Glad to be of assistance,, which in this case turned out to be somesort of laughtery :P:)

PS,, yep,, I'm running winamp on quad-operating system,, Win2k, Win98SE, OS/2 and Linux...
Could be that too ;)

you think?


1st August 2001 16:00 UTC

Well :)
No,, I just noticed it(that they're linked,, or were)
But it could be any of the other reasons too :)
I've used winamp since I was a little brat, Never [until now] has there been any problems with avs.
I do believe that it is much too resource consuming, but also a lot of fun to play with,, well I like my own Visplugins better, but had to comment on that poor fellows situation,, here's a tip for AHTOH,, wasn't it: buy a new machine :)
