I believe I’ve found an alternate solution to the problem of Winamp closing after the Fuze is connected to the PC. I’ve had this problem since day one (with the Fuze), and I have Windows Media Player 11 (and Format) runtime code installed on my PC (XP SP3).
The solution is to (on the Fuze) select Settings, System Settings, USB mode, and select MSC. After you do this Windows will treat the Fuze like a USB memory plugin, and Winamp does not crash and burn on connect. WMP11 remains on my PC (not sure this is a positive). This all happened about 30 min ago so there may be unintentional side effects I haven’t discovered yet.
On a side note, I also discovered I could go back to firmware 2…02.26A, and get rid of the _ annoying _ SlotRadio icon on the Fuze main menu. Search the forum for ‘upgrading’ to 2.02.26 to see how to do this. Maybe Sana can add a settings switch to 2.02.29 so you can turn off options in the wheel scroll menu (hint, hint).
