@Bebi Bulma: I can help. Hope to get you up and running with the latest version

If you follow this your Winamp will work. Winamp 5.54 is way better than 5.34. There were allot of bug fixes since then and performance improvements since they were very active on development the last 12months.
Heres how to fix any Winamp problem:
- Backup your skins, bookmarks(save them to playlist)
- Make sure you have installs for your 3rd party plugins (dont use plugins that havent been updated >24months ago)
- Uninstall Winamp
- Delete folder (%appdata%/winamp)
- Delete folder (C:\Program Files\Winamp)
- Install latest Winamp version (only install the options you use.. see below**)
- Copy skins back
Btw, most of the errors users get in Winamp is because of old 3rd party plugins.
If your using Gtalk (maybe other IM's too) theres a bug in gtalk if you select "Show Current playing track". To fix this create a black text document here and rename it to "winamp.m3u":
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.m3u
This is actually a gtalk bug but they dont seem to update their IM to much these days...
Bebi Bulma, if the above dont work for you then please give more information.
** I normally install all the plugins that help playing files and then deselect the stuff I dont use like cdrip, avs, online services of ml,...
