Since installing 5.0d, I have been getting the error "Another application has modified the WAV file. The peak information will now be rebuilt." What does this mean? I haven't any other programs open other than Windows Explorer, maybe. This seems to happen if I am performing a lengthy operation, like DC offset on a large file, and I switch to another application, like Explorer, while SF is doing its thing. I have also received more serious-sounding errors, like "Another application has deleted the WAV file. If you do not save now you will lose your WAV file" (not an exact quote). Again, I may have switched to another application and back to SF, but I have not deleted any files during the process. Since I use Direct mode a lot, it should be impossible to delete a file that SF has open. So, again, what's going on?!? |

Ain't no viruses on my machine, unless it's called Sound Forge 5.0d! |

It's always easy to blame the new software. It won't hurt to make sure. If you ARE sure your machine has not been infected try reinstalling SF. If not, SF has a tech support email. They really don't monitor this board or offer much info. I think that is so people will utilize the support system (iin other words, PAY for it). |

There may be an issue with Sound Forge 5.0 not properly handling bogus filetimes on some systems, which could cause this. There will be a special internal pref in the next update, called "Validate files on activate" that will block this behavior when set to false. In the meantime, and since this is such a pain in the ass for some folks, you can enable it now if you are comfortable with regedit: 1) open regedit 2) navigate to HKCU\Software\Sonic Foundry\Sound Forge\5.0\Metrics3) Edit->New->DWORD Value 4) name the new value "10032" (no quotes) and leave its data value as 0x00000000 (0). Sorry for the pain. J. |
