It's a problem with the skin you're using. There was a "trick" that some skin developers did to place invisible image place-holders in the skin, but by exploiting a flaw in the skin engine. The Winamp team fixed this bug, and now skin developers need to fix their skins.

You can either go onto Winamp's forums to figure out how to fix your skin (if you're up to skin editing), or you can temporarily stop Winamp from doing this (you'll need to do it again after a reinstall/upgrade). To remove the issue easily, just navigate to C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\freeform\xml\wasabi\window\ and either delete error.png or replace it with a transparent *.png.

Good luck.
