When i download winamp 2 skins the file extension is .sz, to get the skins to work i have to rename it to .wsz, but i tried to make it open with winamp, which was a mistake coz now winamp tries to play the skins! and i can't change it back, so i can't get anymore skins now! any ideas?
 
Try un-associating the .wsz file type from winamp
Then re-install winamp over your existing install (no settings should be lost) and it should re-gain the correct association
 
open a folder, any will do...
click the Tools menu
then 'Folder Options'
Click the 'File Types' tab
scrool down to WSZ, should be near the bottom somewhere
then click the 'Delete' Button

Re-Install winamp and everything should be fine...
 
Did you know? (hehe)

.wsz files are just zip files, rename the file .zip and extract it to your skins directory.
 
true, i spose if you don't want to re-install you can just dump the .wsz or the un-packed contents into the skins dir and only use winamp to change skins, its easier when you can just double click the skin file and it loads tho ;)
 
Hrm, odd...
perhaps you can try setting it up manually...
do the same as before to get to the file Types menu, then add/edit .wsz too look like this....

thanks, i'm using xp so mine look different to that tho, but i think i've found a way around it using the unzipping thing

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
