I'm setting up WL for the NA Sprints on Sat. and have run into problem I 
don't understand with my audio files.  In certain call signs a letter in the 
call generates an error message that says" .wav format incompatible with 
earlier files."  For example, if I enter W1AW and then use %C to play back 
the call, WL plays "W1" (w1.wav) and then displays the error message for the 
a.wav file.  W7WA plays back "W7" (w7.wav) and then the error message for 
w.wav.  I never had this problem on my old XP machine, but have now copied 
these audio files over to my new Vista machine.  The screwing thing is 
sometimes these .wav files that generate the error message will work ok in 
another call.

What really confuses me is that I used Audacity to create all the audio 
files, so I don't see why WL says there is a file format incompatibility 
problem.  Does anyone know of a way to check the file formats?  I know they 
all have to be the same.  Under XP the Audio Recorder would let you check 
File/Properties to see what the format was.  Under Vista, the Audio Recorder 
is a much more bare bones interface that doesn't offer this capability, 
unless I'm missing something.  I could probably use the audio files as is 
and get by for the contest, but would like to fix it if possible.  I would 
hope I wouldn't have to recreate all the files all over again!
