I would suggest making sure you are logged into your computer under the Administrator account, then uninstall it from there. Otherwise, you can also boot into Safe Mode and delete the files that way. (But make sure you attempt to uninstall it correctly via the Add/Remove Programs.) Then you can download and install the latest version of Winamp at http://www.winamp.com/player . ~Joe Laura,

It sounds like some critical files were removed resulting in a broken installation. By reinstalling it, you are restoring those files, then completely uninstalling it via the steps included above. Let me know how it goes. :) ~Joe Ralph,
