WinAmp Pro 5.6 failed to launch

Asked By dylangutierrez 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/19/2012

 

Hi,

Today I bought, downloaded & at last installed WinAmp Pro 5.6. But I immediately received an error message: Error 88890008.

I have reinstalled the product but that didn't not fix the problem.

So how can I fix it? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hello friend,

   Winamp is the best brand in playing multimedia contents, i have also installed winamp, as you have not indicated the screen shot or any possible reason that i can track your problem but as per the error code that you have mentioned- 88890008 , please check these things:

The sound driver of your pc – that must be incompatible with Pro version

The DirectSound driver which is a feature in Winamp Pro version will require your system to support ActiveX plugins with 8.3 or more updated versions….works well if you have ActiveX 9.0 installed (These plugins can be downloaded from Microsoft)

Install these things first in order to need to groove with Winamp pro

Thanks

It looks like a hardware sound driver error. To check your drivers, look for them on your audio devices. The ways depend on your operating system but for Windows, mostly you can see it under Control Panel and devices. Or right click on Computer and go to Properties and then select Device Manager. Look at the Sound, video and game controllers. If your audio driver doesn't have a yellow exclamation mark on it, then there's nothing wrong with it. But if it has, you may need to update your driver. It is always a good idea to update to the latest drivers for your pc so that even if you can't see the yellow mark, try to update your drivers. Hope that helps!
