Winamp UI problems.

Hey guys,

Anyone able to help me with this please?

Basically, whenever i load up winamp, the majority of the settings i had before, such as the width of the now playing pane and the media controls pane are reset as well as other things, such as which buttons i want on show etc.

Anyway of making it retain my preferences, i can't find anything in the options.
It's only started doing it since i reinstalled it.

Thanks

Have you enabled Winamp agent. I'm not sure on this - but I think it might hold position settings as well as file preferences.

Sounds quite strange. I don't have the agent on and I have my settings kept the same each time.

You my friend, are a genius.

winamp agent? I've never needed this and don't want it anyway and never had an issue with remembering anything in winamp 5 !

Same here, all I thought it did was run the tray icon and helped launch Winamp faster?

Same as both above. I never use it but perhaps it sometimes needs to be used once to permanently set the settings on some systems?
