    Thanks for the replay .. I looked for error in Event viewer but didn't find any. The actual behavior is it sits in the Task bar won't open but it Processes the Memory usage is kinda of dtable like 24,234 K doesn't change from that. The program doesn't say non-responding I tried to uninstall and reinstall couple of times and checked in different Windows Profile

    are you using a Winamp skin with a .wal extension by any chance? Just wondering because I got some errors in W7 with .wal skins that I didn't get with .wsz skins. I never got to the bottom of it but it seemed to have something to do with skin scripting or something. It's just one thing you can try to see if it starts working.

    I'm having the same problem. It opens but after that it freezes so I can't even use it and nothing i see can fix it. Just something more going wrong with windows 7 making me wanta go back to XP now.

    Yes it does work, been using it since the RC of Win 7 (and have it playing right now). Also just came across this plugin that allows it to work with Aero Peek,
