Hi,
My Winamp issue was when using NVDA, so either the two are totally unrelated,
or it isn’t an FS issue. Besides it’s the program that’s crashing, not the
screen reader, so unless there is a problem with audio devices that causes one
program to crash when freeing allocated memory for a device that something else
is using, in which case any screen reader would crash it, the problem is either
with the software, the audio driver, or Windows itself. Personally I would be
inclined to rule out the software since it works on other flavours of Windows,
but then again there may even be faults with its own memory management or crash
mechanism that prevents this particular issue from showing up.
Computers are very deep, rich and complicated worlds, and when you get into
programming and debugging they can seem like nothing less than the fearsome
fierce and fiery pits of hell.
Cheers.
Damien.

I didn’t get that issue until I had the Win10 Creator Edition update. Somebody
said Freedom Scientific knows about the issue, but I’m certain the more that
offer details regarding crashes, the sooner they will be able to determine if
the issue is theirs to fix.
Best,
David

Hi,
Odd – in my brief encounter with Windows 10, I got the same message from
Winamp. Again, when it was exiting. Wonder if Windows 10 has a problem with
closing audio devices for whatever reason. If it does, that is extremely
bizarre to say the least.
Cheers.

Hi everyone,
Well I installed Audacity for Windows 10 and the installation went well at
that. But I didn’t do anything in the program at all. So I went to the “file”
menu and hit exit. Then I got a message saying that Audacity has stopped
working and Windows will look to see if it sees a fix for the problem – or
something like that.This has happened several times now. Do I need to uninstall
Audacity and re-install it in order to fix the problem?
Thanks,
John
