I'm about to pull my hair out.. and very frustration .. !!!

No idea, I don't use Winamp anymore because I had problems with it. You should try a different video player, maybe DivX? Also, if you want a different music player, try foobar.

Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported file format):
"E:Praise ChapelApr 30 2008 - VID00001.AVI"

Yes, Foobar is a great music player, but it doesn't play videos.

Maybe, all you need is AVI extension? Try this www.filetypeadvisor.com... . I had the same issue. I could browse all my folders but when I tried to play any movies, I got a message "action not supported" . The FileType advisor tool helped me.
