Greetings all. I'm a long time (10-15 years?) user of REW, so I know my way around the SW reasonably well. Just yesterday something crazy and new happened to me, and I'm stumped for a fix. Googling has turned up nothing, so I'm hoping someone here might have a suggestion.
For background, I'm running a WIndows 10 laptop, and just a few weeks ago was the last time I used REW. At that time, like every time before, everything worked perfectly. I hadn't changed anything about the laptop since then, but since it's Windows 10 I can't be sure if Microsoft did an OS update. I assume they did since otherwise everything would be identical and this would make even less sense.
Yesterday, I went to use REW and everything worked great except I cannot launch the 'Measure' window. Whether I click the GUI button, press Ctrl+M or pulldown the File->Measure menu, it does nothing. There's no error message, for example the "you don't have a Mic so you can't measure" type message, it literally does nothing. All the other windows like SPL meter, levels, generator, etc. all work fine. I can 'check levels' in preferences and it's perfect; audio comes out the speakers and the Mic reports the correct SPL.
This was on version 5.16 w/ JRE, and it had been bugging me for months about newer versions, so I thought I might as well update and hope that fixes it. I updated to the latest 5.19 beta w/ JRE and no change, still can't Measure. Uninstalled REW entirely and downloaded the latest stable 5.18 without JRE (I have Java 8 on my laptop) and same problem, can't bring up the Measure window, but everything else works. I updated my Java to the latest version and same problem. In between all of these steps I rebooted the laptop several times
. Right now I'm back to having the latest beta 5.19 w/ JRE installed, because it didn't seem like the REW version was making a difference. That said, I can't think of anything else to try to make the Measure window launch. Has anyone else ever seen this, or maybe something similar with a different Java application? Thanks in advance for any help!
