Winamp is an odd program, I've always found it a bit temperamental on
my system. I've brought this up on other newsgroups and evidently two
people can have the same system and set-up, but, one person can run
winamp, the other keeps getting crashes. No one seems to know why this
happens, but, it does.
If winamp causes a problem with Civ (possibly due to winamp being
resource hungry) try Media Player Classic. MPC is very light weight,
not resource hungry, doesn't install so doesn't mess up the registry,
keeps its preferences etc. in an ini file, plays virtually all music
and video formats and is free.
