For heavens sake, yes it is disabled and yes I did check everything. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I did write that I have checked everything and every extension per program and in Windows file associations as well... I'm getting frustrated because I have to keep repeating myself over and over again.

Thank you anyway

I too have that problem, however, LW will not even preview the mp3. The download looks normal (minus the correct icon) and when i go to the download folder, it appears as a winamp file. The file ends up being nearly 20+ minutes long and nothing but silence.

This is what I posted in another forum about my problem:

Just in the past week or so, I have noticed that all of the icons referring to mp3's have changed to the 'unknown file' icon. On a mouse roll over, the help window pops up and says 'winamp media file' but after downloading, the file is currupt. T3's are not the only ones who are like this...it is every mp3 file. The mpeg files turn out fine, so far. I have tried all of the suggestions that have been posted and none change the files. I have even found a website that distributes older versions (all the way back to 1.4b) of Limewire and they too have the same problem. It's either a registry entry during limewire install that does this or it's a mass network problem/scam...I dunno.

By the way, WinAmp is now a defunct app or will be. This present version is going to be the very last.

I uninstalled Winamp 5.08e and reinstalled Winamp 5.08e again and that fixed the problem.

Thanks
