Vista - WAV file possible memory leak

allislost · 10-10-2008

I've had this problem for a while now, but now it just got worse, to the point where i can't even access the file through an Open Dialog Box.

The files where saved through a program called Beatcraft and it was fine unless i opened the folder containing the wav file. When i did open the file, the first few times, i checked with the Task Manager and i saw that explorer was using all of the ram on my laptop, about 1gig.

What could be wrong with my computer? And why would .wav files cause this problem?

That's a loop created with Beatcraft.

If it's possible can you upload a wav file? i wanna check to see if wav's created on other computers will affect me.
