It would be helpful to determine what is causing the orphaned JT9.exe crash. Like others I've been experiencing it consistently since trying the beta. Mostly recently, four crashes in less than five minutes after using the program for several hours and many Q's.

I couldn't find any obvious root cause. Two suggestions: 1. Put something in the user guide about stopping the orphan process rather than rebooting the computer? 2. Is there a way of globally trapping fatal errors such that the program exits more gracefully? The latter might also assist in finding the fault? If not directly then maybe run it in its own container so if that sees a fatal error in its content it can close nicely?

That program provides the decoding for all slow modes in WSJT-X. Rebooting is not necessary. Simply use Windows Taskmaster to kill the still-executing jt9.exe. A report of program failure is useful only if you can provide details of what may have caused the crash. Obviously it doesn't happen most of the time, or we would not have released the beta-test version If possible, we need to know what was special about your usage that resulted in a crash. -- 73, Joe, K1JT On 10/24/2022 2:16 PM, Tony ZL3HAM via wsjt-devel wrote: Hi Dennis, I use DX Lab Suite and JT Alert and I got a Fatal Error message and also one that said JT9 failed to close but I wasn't using JT9. The program just closed and I had to reboot the PC to correct it. This happened the same as it did on earlier rc versions. Thanks. 73 Tony, ZL3HAM On 25/10/2022 6:58 am, Dennis W1UE via wsjt-devel wrote: Tony Were you just using WSJT only, or were you using it with N1MM+ Any error messages, or did the WSJT entry window just "disappear"?

At the time I was on 20m FT4 after having a few QSO's and it crashed whilst in listening mode. 73 Tony, ZL3HAM _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
