Greetings Steve and Chris, Thanks for the info, it will paste the screen details but not the contents of registries Etc. which may well not show as part of the screen content and surely, this is what the author would need to diagnose the problem. So far, my checking that box Chris mentioned, seems to have stopped the problem, but at present, GoldWave v5.25 has only been running about five hours with a couple of reloads. Colin Howard from near Southampton in Southern England, looks forward to hearing from you. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
