Hi Drew, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the RC8 release. I can’t be of much help in debugging Windows crashes, but for those who can it would be useful to know if the symptoms persist unchanged when you run with a fresh WSJT-X.ini file. For example, you might try starting wsjtx from a command prompt like this:
wsjtx —rig-name=XXX where XXX is a unique “rig name" that you have not used in the past. This will start wsjt-x with a fresh .ini file. (The “—rig-name” option is documented in the User Manual in item 2 of the Frequently Asked Questions section. See the Platform Dependencies section of the manual for the location of the Settings, Log, and Default save directories when wsjtx is started with the “—rig-name=XXX” command-line option.) Note that you’ll have to re-enter your rig and audio settings after starting this way. If you find that wsjtx runs OK with a fresh WSJT-X.ini file, then please go ahead and send us the problematic WSJT-X.ini file.
