As a practice method, I want to try playing along to tunes I've just entered into NWC but this is somewhat defeated by having to hit play (F5) at the end of the tune .It's trad English folk music so each one is pretty short. Is there a continuous repeat/repeat function? I've tried FAQing & search but can't find anything useful so I thought I'd ask. Thanks P.
Phew..............done ! Did what you suggested Rich and all is rosy in the garden ! I went "default Programs", clicked on it and it allowed me to change the program back to NWC. It's of no real interest now, but although I understand the second part of my problem................I was blindly clicking around...........why NWC removed itself from my desktop icons in the 1st place is a mystery. I have learnt a little more about computers with no loss of information. Many Thanks Rich for your time and consideration and to Flurmmy; I was about to delete Adobe before I tried the Rich approach. I've used the forum before and have always found it tremendously helpful; thanks again P.
Thanks Rich.............done the above and that has fixed the later problem. However my NWC files still do not have the NWC icon but the Adobe pdf document icon even though NWC viewer is loaded now. As I said, they open through NWC but not by a simple click. Any other ideas ? Thanks again P.
AGGH! Came back to my computer after 6 weeks away from NWC to find all the desktop NWC icons for each tune file had changed in appearance and would not open ( I was directed to browse programs on my hard drive to find a file that would open them but the installed NWC program would not appear) They will open through NWC . It was never like this previously. In my haste to try to fix it, I must have clicked something because now all my NWC (500 hours plus of work) have been converted to "Adobe Acrobat Document (.nwc)" files. ie acrobat is trying to open them not NWC . They will not open by clicking on them but only open through NWC. Does this make sense to anyone ? I realize now I should have asked the forum before blindly clicking around. Any suggestions as to whether I can rescue the situation...I just uninstalled NWC and reinstalled it but that seems to have made the problem slightly worse as now on some NWC files will not open at all through NWC ( a window comes up saying it is a newer {2.5} version etc.) Any help much appreciated P.
