LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I make no association with WAV files so something else on your system has (or you have, accidentally) done it. You want Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Find '.wav' in the list and change the program it opens with. (Those names are from Vista, they might be slightly different under Windows 7.)

strikers easy Posted December 29, 2009 Author Posted December 29, 2009 thanks for the help i checked as you suggested and the .wav are supposed to be opened by windows media player by default. so i then saved the .wav file to my documents from email then right clicked and opened with windows media and it was fine. so then i just doubled clicked to open the file again and img burn started. it does not recognise the .wav and (stops responding) so the problem still exists is there anything in the program that can be adjusted. or in my start up or any other ideas . the program is great and runs twice as fast as alcohol does in copy from disk to iso then burn iso to disk i can live with the problem with the work around. i wonder if their is a special way to install in windows 7 that i missed.? i will continue to try to fix it unless you guys have other ideas striker
