Backup at least once a week, or a little longer if you aren't trying out new software... if you have a problem, you just re-image the hard drive to where everything "worked". It's like having a restore program that you control yourself. It took me years to do, but I finally upgraded from the 2.xx versions to the 5.xx versions of Winamp and haven't looked back. Good luck.

Why not remove it and then try a new re-install? Or download the latest version and install that one. Good luck!
