Same here. Get the message WaveLab8.exe has stopped working. “Windows is checking for a solution for the problem.”
Then that window changes to “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
Here when it hangs the window is the “Audio Files” window." Going to task manager when the program freezes it shows WaveLab8.exe running but “Audio Files” not responding. Not so sure its a plugin issue here.
I installed WL8 64bit and it works. But sInce only 64bit Plugins are loaded and can be used (I donl;t have that many 64bit plugins), I’m putting it initially down to a 32bit plugin or pluigin(s) causing the crash. WL8 32bit didn’t want to install most if not all of my iLok plugins.
I did initially have a problem with Waldorf Largo with WL7, but when I added it to the “plugins not loaded” file that went away. However it looks like we have some sort of issue with plugins with WL8 that I’m sure Phillipe is looking into.
I’ll remove each plugin in turn to see if I can find it.
Nope, I downloaded the latest which funny enough were released yesterday (6th May), but sadly doesn’t help. It’s definitely from my POV a plugin as the WL8 64bit works with the limited 64 bit plugins I have.
Thanks for the suggestion. I run the latest eLicenser and WL8 still won’t run, same message as above. I have WL6 and WL7 installed on this Win7 (32) bit machine as well and both programs work fine. Never a problem with plugins.
It is possible for WaveLab to generate diagnostics. Do this:
Press and maintain the Alt key, and using the mouse, open the main preferences.
Now you can see a new tab called “Diagnostics”
Set it as:
Thanks PG,
Trying the Alt Key method don’t work, nothing on screen is active until the close program button is pushed then WL8 closes. The only choice is to close WL8.

I don’t see what you mean. Could you see the disgnostic tab displayed on my picture?
Did you see the plugin scanning goind through correctly? The problem you report happens later? What audio card do you have? (this initialization happens late).
In my situation WL8 64bit works, but obviously with limited plugins as not all of mine are 64bit.
I did set the diagnostics as suggested on a previous post in WL8 64bit (I’m assuming both use the same preferences) and fired up the 32 bit version and monitored via the tracer program. Nothing obvious jumped out at me. I can PM the results if you want to have a look.
Initially upon install the plugins scanned and completed, it appeared to. Sound card is MOTU 896mk3. I did try unstalling WL8, unplugging and removing the soundcard, reinstalling WL8 with same results.
