    All the above seem to do with winamp

    How do you mean "I am trying to re-install my computer" ?

    So they are not needed to run my pc and can be safely left removed then.

    Sorry I meant trying to reinstall my printer, been so obsessed with the thing lately is't practically all I've been doing, fixing, installing, reinstalling etc.

    My old pc is up and running again but now it won't let me install my printer and I thought maybe those files were preventing me, will look for other reasons now.

    Thanks again Dr.:D

    Yes remove them if you like but they may affect winamp, I would ditch winamp anyway in MY opinion, Ok is it an XP machine and whats wrong with the printer and what printer is it?
