In the last couple of days we've become aware that sabogate etc is everywhere around! Is Creative joining those groups this time? Or is it just coincedence?
Read more here, a submit from Winamp...
Creative Lab's portable Nomad plugin: gen_nomad.dll silently installed without the user's knowledge by Creative PlayCenter2 and Playcenter3 (Audigy) included with the SBLive/Audigy Soundcard Driver CD-ROM is said to be responsible for the following issues: |
-Winamp cannot be maximized once it has been minimized to the tray.
-Sections of main Winamp window disappear.
-Scrollbar & time display no longer functioning.
-Causes memory and resource leaks.
-Crashes Winamp and freezes Windows.
There should be an option in the plugins config screen to ban this evil plugin. Maybe with a further option to unban it if the user really wants to use it?
According to Creative Labs, it actually works for them, but I'm having none of it. To remove this evil plugin:
Close Winamp, and go to xrogram FilesWinampPlugins (where x: is your drive letter) and delete gen_nomad.dll from there.
Nasty nasty Creative. Somewhere I can image why they want us to use Creative's Playcenter, but since it's crappy (at least that's what I think) I'll stick to Winamp .
