Floating Point Exception

Post by Coriolanus »

I was trying to save an audio file to which I had just added cue points. I was unable to save the file ans received this messages;

Invalid: Floating point Operation Adddress 0X008B94EB Module: Goldwave.

I was forced to cancel out and lose all the cue points I had set.

If the error happens consistently with that file you could try this:

- make sure GoldWave is closed

- from the Windows "Start" button choose All Programs > GoldWave > GoldWave Setup

- in the GoldWave Setup Options dialog, put a check-mark in the box for "Ignore floating point errors"

- click the "OK" button and GoldWave should open

Then try saving the troublesome file again.

I had already lost the file, but I did make the changes in SETUP.

I seem to remember that it used to be a lot easier to change the Setup file - you could do it from GOLDWAVE without having to go into WIN 7

Thank you again for your help.
