I´ve exactly the same problems here on both of my computers, on my old notebook (with Celeron CPU) and on my desktop (with P4 CPU).
On the notebook I´m running Win98, on the desktop Win98SE, and on both WavePad is crashing for lots of its features, e.g.:
Tools > FFT ---> CRASH!
Tools >TFFT ---> CRASH!
Tools > Text to Speech ---> CRASH!
Bookmark > Open Bookmark List ---> CRASH!
Bookmark > Open Region List ---> CRASH!
...
So my question: Is WavePad running at all under Win98/Win98SE?
As the stated ´Requirements´ say, it SHOULD run, but it DOESN´T!
As it is now, unfortunately WavePad is absolutely unusable ...

Franz.
