Thank you so much! This worked for me also! I am in school for transcription and recently had test .wav files sent to me from a potential employer and I could not open them in anything. I also have Windows 7 as of recently, but they wouldn't open on my other computer either which is a vista. So this may work for that computer too. All other .wav files opened with ES except these. But all other .wav files were from disks from school. I uploaded GSpot to determine what type of codec these files were using and it said "DSP Group TrueSpeech". The bytescribe website you recommended was the only one that you could easily get this codec. Now the files are working.

A friend of mine received the same files and they work on hers. I re-downloaded them and they still didn't work, yet the same files work for others.

I have several files that I need to open to transcribe for a potential job. They are simple .wav files and any other .wav file I open works fine. These files work fine for another person using ES. Mine say "Opening Audio File Failed" and I have tried disabling anti-virus, tried opening in windows media player, turned off user account security, restarted computer, reinstalled ES, and ever tried on a totally different computer in my home and these particular .wav's will not open. How can this be explained because if I don't turn these in, I will not get the job. My work computer uses Windows 7, the other computer I tried on is Vista. The properties of the files look fine on my desktop, but will not play on any player and they show "grayed out" with 0:00 duration once I attempt loading them in ES. I read a few past posts on this, but nothing in them seemed to fix my problem. Thanks in advance... Misty
