I had the same problem, before you delete anything I'm telling you this..just let me find it and I'll edit this post for you =p
edit:
First close winamp.
go to
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\
and make a back up of paths.ini, then delete it. Try restarting winamp and seeing if that worked. If not, backup and delete winamp.ini as well. Both should rebuild themselves on start up, I only had to delete paths.ini.
Just make sure you back up incase
edit edit: folder might be in a different but similar location depending on your operating system

Tbh I have no idea, you should have a paths.ini or something very close to that name. Try winamp.ini if not, can always replace it with the backup.

I have that very often with all the menus.
Click another one, let it load, and click back.
If you have actually tried this(which makes sense, but always works for me), try again. Or somehow have it detect your audio files again.

When I had the problem that didn't work, then I readded all my media and..still didn't work. At that point you might as well reinstall, not even sure if that would work =p
