    Resolved [RESOLVED] Winamp Player

    Hi
    I must have clicked on my winamp player and
    moved it a little too hard and it disappeared off screen

    Now I can click the icon but the player does nt appear on the
    desktop
    Its up cos the icon is in the toolbar.

    I click on the toolbar icon and the play list appears so
    I can get any of my favoourites to play ... radio etc
    but the player must be somewhere off screen

    a bit like sometimes a web page is off the side and you struggle
    to drag it back
    Only this time I cant see hide nor hare.
    Ive rebooted today and the same thing is happening
    I can't get at the winamp player to increase volume etc

    thanks for any advice.

    Try right clicking the winamp icon on the taskbar and selecting "move" then hold the left mouse button down and drag winamp back to the main screen.

    Or use the arrow keys after clicking "Move", if you can see an edge to drag.

    thanks, it finally resolved itself
    I was having a problem with lines on the tv pic
    I surf on my tv with a cable from tv out to
    the video input on my tv
    I took the cable out and then put it back
    but no picture !!! panic !!

    I had to take the comp to the repair shop
    He said the graphics card had gone and so fitted
    another one ... cost £67 !!
    Problem now is that there is no s video output on the card
    so I am forced to go to comet for a new TV
    cost £440 !

    Ah well its time I got into these new LCD TVs

    My question now is...... there are 3 sockets on the new
    graphics card one is HD one is the standard blue one
    and one is like the blue size but with some extrat pins on the right
    Im going to need a cable to go from the comp to the TV
    at least 10 ft long.
    Comet only have a 2 metre cable so Im going to have to
    go to Maplins
    would you go for the HD cable ?
    Im confused right now
    Thanks for any advice

    Make and model or a link to it would help out.

    Ive no idea make of new graphics card
    I just know there are 3 sockets in it

    The guy in comet said I should go for
    the hd socket and get the cable to fit that.
    that cable would give full output from the net
    and anything that is in hd format.

    Im gonna need a 10 foot cable, hope Maplins
    can supply it.

    Click Start, click Run, and then type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotation marks).
    Click the + mark in front of Display adapter.
    Post what it says there.

    Amazon is a good place to get an HDMI cable (or long VGA / DVI cables). Comet, Curry's or Maplins will rip you off so badly that your wallet won't stop squealing for a month

    THANKS for the advice but its come a couple of hours
    too late,
    Ive just got back from Maplins
    3ft hd cable............... £40.00... ouch !

    Back to comet ....samsung 32" HD TV.....£399.oo
    but there's a wow factor surfing the net on this TV !
    its just brilliant
    when I think of all those years using the old tube TV !
    its chalk and cheese.
    Everything is crystal clear

    Add to that the £67 .00 for supply and fit graphics
    card and its been one expensive week !
