I've been using GoldWave 4 for quite a while for cleaning up tapes & 78s, and other stuff, so when v5 came out, I downloaded it (and I do have a licence!) I have a Creative Audigy sound card which isn't compatible with Windows XP or 2000, so I have 98 (second ed). I've tried GW5 under W2000 on my pc at work, and it works with no problems, but whenever I run it at home it crashes. It will begin a process, but just as it's about to finish, the screen goes blank and the machine reboots. (I still have my copy of GW4, so I'm not entirely bereft.) Tech suport at GW say they've never encountered the problem.

What else..? Athlon processor (PIII or PIV equivalent, forget which), 256 MB of RAM, quite a few GB left on my hard disk. There are several TSRs (do they still call them that?) and background jobs, but I still get the same thing when I remove them all; also I've tried turning off "hardware acceleration" to no avail. Can't think of anything else to try.

Any ideas?
