Dumb question, but did you change anything before it stopped working.

FWIW, I hear a lot of people have problems with 9.0, I stopped upgrading mine at 8.0.

Tried restoring the old version?

Kayin, winamp 2.91 is far better than 3.

I heard there was a winamp 5 in the works. It has the best features of 2+3.

Right click the shortcut to media player, Find Target, (c:\program files\windows media player) and delete the entire contents of the folder. Re-install, I have not done this but, I hear that it will work.

You can download Winamp 5 beta - I have it, its stable and I havent had any problems what so ever - grab it. You can use any of your existing skins with it to.

Im with you Dimazz. Ive always used WM, and Ive never really liked the other programs I have tried. I suppose I do like Winamp for the plugins, but thats about it. WM9 just seems so easy to me.
