I don't think so...and what is the problem precisely? Post a screencap...
Yes. I got Winamp3, and hated it... Too slow. I uninstalled it, then installed Winamp 2.8, and now I'm happy :D

Any solution to this?

PS: no one has guessed what's different about my desktop compared to most posted here so far.
Did you enable Winamp Agent?

There is no agent option. You are presented with it during install; you can try taking it out of MSCONFIG, or turning it off by right-clicking on the systray icon.

Ahh, he probably disabled it when he upgraded. Run the install routine again and enable Winamp Agent this time!

Fixed it.

Phongn was right: I disabled Agent during the install because I forgot what it was.

Everything's fine now, thanks.

Actually its ridden with spyware, is W2k with bloat and bugs. For example there is a bug that when you click a specially constructed link, your computer gets nuked. Get Win2k instead.

Ya if you can FIND a fucking Win2K Disk! I'll have a billion tons of Hen's Teeth, a dozen Flowing Black Silk Sashes (EverQuest}, a dozen Manastones (EverQuest again), and *5* Holy Grails before I ever find a Win2K Disk! I've been camping my friend Joey's house for 4 MONTHS trying to get one. If you find one, hold onto it like Gold and get a CD Burner (don't forget the extra CDs)!

Well, then don't use IE and it's myriad security flaws. And get your machine regularly patched to boot (I've never had security problems or crash errors with XP). As for spyware, it's not riddled with it unless you consider WPA spyware.

Starwars.com, in the Community section. Looks like Lucasfilm decided to make some high-res renders for the fans, because these are vastly more detailed and sharp than anything you see in the movie.

They did. Though it was also just for publicity. A couple more of the transports, gunships and clones are out there as well. Plus there's a bunch of smaller images, which also don't show in the movie.
