Gtalk crashes when “show current music” is selected

Posted by cognoscis on 2nd February 2009

Problem : When you set your status message to show the current track being played on winamp, your gtalk craches, or freezes and does not respond

Solution : I found this one to work the best

  • Exit Winamp and Google Talk
  • Open notepad, keep blank document.
    Note: you should be administrator before you run. Vista users can right click and run as administrator.
  • Save the blank file in PROGRAMFILES\Winamp\ folder and give the name winamp.m3u
  • Vista users, save it in the folder PROGRAMFILES(X86)\Winamp\ and as above, name it as winamp.m3u for x64 OS.
  • Open Winamp and Google Talk again.

The application will work well now :)
