great2bgross Thanks for your help. I cannot open any types of files (MP3, WAV, etc.) in WavePad to edit. Just yesterday I updated to version 13.38 thinking that was the problem but after updating and even restarting my laptop, I can't get any files to open. Here are links to two screen shots of the pop up errors. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xwBj2e7ukKKLJPPH6_BgTI0_e-mleHg9/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XSEugmPjLC2VJI72lTe0adA8zENLNooJ/view?usp=sharing Would appreciate any help, thanks.
great2bgross Never mind, I figured out what happened. I have files directed to save on an external drive and it was unplugged.
