I'm running Windows 10 64-bit on a very large machine. WavePad 17.42 works fine. I used it constantly without problem as of May 2023, when my project was finished. Since then I have updated WavePad twice without actually using it.
I'm now starting up a new project but neither WavePad 17.57 64-bit nor Wavepad 17.54 32-bit will load audio files.
Both will record a new audio track, and then it will save it as a .wav file, but after saving, WavePad hangs reloading the file with messages: "Loading Audio File Source" "Please Wait". Nor will either version load a previously created and working .wav file.
Switch will read and convert the .wav files to mp3 for example, but neither WavePad 17.57 64-bit or 17.54 32-bit will load the converted file either, it hangs with the same messages.
I rolled back to WavePad 17.42 32-bit and it works fine.
Help!
