Sound Forge keeps crashing! -Sound Forge - PC - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Sound Forge keeps crashing! Posted by: CrispOne Date:3/20/2000 11:41:00 AM I'm running Sound Forge 4.5 on a clean installation of Win2000. And I mean really clean - wiped the hard drive clean before installing. I've got these large sound files (3.5 MB, 44K, 16 bit mono) that I'm trying to split up into smaller files. So, I open the file, select part of it, cut it out, create a new file, and paste. Then I save the new file. It asks me if I want to open the file in direct edit mode, I click on "no" and then it crashes - every time. So I turn that setting off, so it won't ask me if I want to reopen in direct edit mode, but it still crashes when I try to save the new file. If I create a new file (which creates a new window in SF), but don't do anything to it, and just close the new window, it crashes EVERY time. I've got 128 MB RAM, and a PIII 450, as well as a Sound Blaster PCI 128 audio card.

I open a large .wav file, select a piece of it, hit Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard, Ctrl-E to paste to new, then save the new one under a new name. This works fine. I'm using W98SE, but doubt it that's the difference. Hope this helps, Rick Z Chris Branscome wrote: >>I'm running Sound Forge 4.5 on a clean installation of >>Win2000.

I'm running Sound Forge 4.5 on a clean installation of
Win2000. And I mean really clean - wiped the hard drive
clean before installing.

I've got these large sound files (3.5 MB, 44K, 16 bit mono)
that I'm trying to split up into smaller files. So, I open
the file, select part of it, cut it out, create a new file,
and paste. Then I save the new file. It asks me if I want
to open the file in direct edit mode, I click on "no" and
then it crashes - every time. So I turn that setting off,
so it won't ask me if I want to reopen in direct edit mode,
but it still crashes when I try to save the new file. If I
create a new file (which creates a new window in SF), but
don't do anything to it, and just close the new window, it
crashes EVERY time.

I've got 128 MB RAM, and a PIII 450, as well as a Sound
Blaster PCI 128 audio card.

Hi Chris,

I use SForge frequently to do exactly what you're talking about. I
open a large .wav file, select a piece of it, hit Ctrl-C to copy to
clipboard, Ctrl-E to paste to new, then save the new one under a new
name. This works fine. I'm using W98SE, but doubt it that's the
difference.

Hope this helps,
