This is one of those situations when a program that worked perfectly for a long time suddenly goes buggy. Lately, whenever trying to use the Noise Reduction feature from NWE 3, it locks up and I have to use the Windows task manager to kill it. All the other Effects/Enhancements items seem to still work okay. Unfortunately, the Noise Reduction is the feature I use the most. Works great on cassette/vinyl digitizing, from my experience. I'd like to get it working again. Specs: Windows XP SP2 Dell XPS 600 P4 3.6GHz, 1GB RAM SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM) NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX (X2)
Problem solved: I traced it to a corrupted Preset. Locating the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Ahead\Nero WaveEditor folder, I deleted it along with all the contents (various .pre files). I then opened WaveEditor, which re-created the deleted folder - minus the corrupted .pre file - and Noise Analysis/Reduction now working perfectly again.
