    I was going through usual everyday tasks on Windows 7 (on an old Dell 4600 desktop - trying to check it's performance on older comps and in this case, a Pentium 4HT 3.06GHz +1GB RAM + FX5200 workds flawlessly in everything except Media Centre) and I noticed this in the preview panes for winamp, anyone have any idea why it shoes up like that?

    (It would be nice if the controls were usable XD)

    If you read the Winamp FAQ, they are working on this issue. I have the same problem in vista. No matter what skin I choose, the preview will show classic.

    OH ok, I never noticed it in Vista, because I only use winamp to be able play songs through my bot on Battlenet and I don't play bnet games on the Vista comp cause the colours in Starcraft (Yes. I have super highend games like WiC, CoH and yet I play SC :p) are messed up >.< (work fine in 7 though...)

    I did not check the FAQ when using Vista 32. I thought after 2 years Winamp will be polished on Vista ;). I was wrong....I did however when i moved to x64. :)




    W7 is Vista reloaded....so...voila. Thanks BILL :).
