Hi Nolan, and this sounds very very anoying! First off I'm not on SF9, but still using SF7. I had issues rather like this last year and found updating my soundcard driver to be the solution. To make a general point, updating drivers for soundcards, video and keyboard is a really good idea anyway. Not for nothing the Superior Apple folks bang on about the stability of their machines and this is in some part due to well written and up-to-date drivers matching the hardware, Oh, where was i? Yes, Sound Forge.
I think the temporary files Sf creates end in .FRG rather than starting with that sequence. I have found that moving SF's temp file to the E: partition on my hard drive makes these temporary files much easier to locate. (This is done under the many Sf Options in the tools menu. I've found Sf to be co-operative on the odd ocasion it does crash and the files are either recoverable or else can be found. Do hope you sort this one out - and do let us know the solution when you've found it. Ray.

Fortunately, I found a solution to that problem that didn't include having to buy an external sound card. Turns out the laptop can send the incoming signal from the cassette player to the laptop speakers just fine. Now the problem I have is that when I finish doing a 45-minute recording and tap either Enter or Alt+F4 to stop the recording, Sound Forge 9 closes, and it seems to abort the file I've created and not yet had a chance to save. Windows intervenes, telling me that the program needs to close, etc. When I reopen Sound Forge, I obviously hit the recover button, but then I'm told that "an error has prevented this project from being completed." I never get to recover my files, and I don't know the name of the actual media file created. I've done searches for dot sfw files, thinking perhaps that's the native format Sound Forge uses to create those temporary files. I've also done searches for files that begin with frg, and can only find a log and some temp files, which Sound Forge refuses to recognize. You should also know that I've set up Sound Forge such that it automatically stops recording to the hard drive after 46 minutes, which is just about right for the conversion of cassette books to MP3 format for use in my Stream. In any case, if anyone else is seeing this behavior, please let me know what you think may be the cause. It's so intermittent I can't find a reason or a pattern. I suppose it could be a memory issue with the laptop, but I have four gigs in the laptop, and eight gigs in a ready-boost situation; so you wouldn't think that would be it. It truly frustrates me to spend 45 minutes spinning a stupid cassette only to lose the file as soon as the recording stops. It's gotten to where I just literally hold my breath and hope whatever session I'm working on doesn't spontaneously abort.
