Hi Judy,
could you check for each of the two sets of recordings, whether they are
mono or stereo?
If you open the context menu of a track by pressing shift+m, then if the
track is mono, then the mono item in the menu is checked, and if it's
stereo, then the mono item is unavailable.
thanks,
David.

The recordings are similar length. The ones not converted from MP4 I can
open with Audacity and Jaws. But, as per your advice, I was able to open a
track in Audacity that I could not while running Jaws.
Thanks loads!

Hi Judy,
I think it's unlikely that the conversion from mp4 to mp3 has anything
directly to do with it. More likely differences that might be affecting
whether Audacity crashes with Jaws running could be that some are mono and
others are stereo, or perhaps how long the recordings are.

Okay, thanks, I did find a solution though, and I am not sure why this is
happening.
Any mp4 files I have converted to mp3 crash Audacity, but the ones
originally recorded in MP3 do work.
Thanks.

Hi Judy,
as Ted has said, there's problem running Audacity with Jaws on the Windows
10 creators update. I don't know what the problem is yet - there doesn't
appear to be a problem running Audacity with either NVDA or Window-eyes. So
for the moment, if you want to use Jaws you'll have to roll back to the
previous version. You have ten days after the update to do this easily.
I would encourage you to let Freedom Scientific know that there is a
problem running Audacity on the creators update. If you do this, it would
be very helpful if you could report back any response that you get. As far
as I'm aware, this is the first time there has been such a serious problem
with Audacity and Jaws.
thanks,
David.

Greetings,
I am glad to have found this list and hope I can get help.
Just recently, the program crashes when attemptingto open files. I have
uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, still the same issue, and I don’t know
what has brought it on. No major changes to the laptop either. I am using
Jaws and running Windows 10. I did just update to the creater version, but
have successfully used Audacity since then.
Any advice is appreciated.
Judy
