Multiple measures are saved as a "Save All Measurements" in the File pulldown.

Saving your graphs as a jpeg is accomplished using the floppy icon in the lower left corner of the graph.

I would have expected a box to pop up asking me to give the file a name. Where does REW save these JPEGs by default?

It does popup a box asking you where you want to store it........

Start REW and click the icon. It pops up a question about the size you want the file. Then it pops up a question as to where you want to store the file...

I do not get a box asking where I want to save files

Then I'm absolutely stumped for an answer. Just like any Windows Save selection, it asks where you want it saved.

You're definitely the first person who has had this fault in the years that I've been working with the REW forum.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by my home directory/REW subdirectory.

The error log for REW is located in your home directory. Usually it will be in c:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\

The error files are stored there and are called roomeq_wizard0.txt, roomeq_wizard1.txt, etc.....

You can open them with Notepad. There's a rotating list, so choose the one with the newest date.

Attach the file to a post, so we can see the errors (if there are any).

So, I'm really not sure what is going on.

Yeah, for sure it's weird.

Just re-install REW and see what happens. You don't need to recalibrate your soundcard. The file is still located in the REW directory, with the filename that you chose, such as my_soundcard.cal

Looks like a lot of Java problems.

What version of Java do you have loaded.

Go to Control Panel and start the Java icon and select the General tab and select About. It should be Version 6 Update 14.

If not, update Java.

Try starting REW and select the Settings pulldown, and then select Delete Settings and Shutdown.

Then restart REW and attempt a Save (after you do a test Measure). You'll need to do a Measure before the Save is available. Don't worry about a real Measure - just click Measure and click through all the warnings to get any Measure - you don't need a meter or anything, we're just trying to test Save.

Then, if that doesn't work, I would suggest re-installing REW and trying again to do a Save.......

OK, good.

You haven't lost the soundcard.cal calibration file. It's just that REW isn't pointing to it anymore. Go to the Settings popup, and on the soundcard tab, select browse and you'll find the file in the Room EQ Wizard directory or wherever you've saved it that was convenient for you (maybe you'll have to search for it). Once you've Browsed and found it - click OK and it will appear in the form-fill window of the Settings screen.

Worst case, if the file isn't there, create a new soundcard calibration file using the loopback cable. Takes about 10 seconds to make one.

Tell me how this went....

I guess I'll just need to re-run the SPL calibration routine and then I should be back in business

You need to run the Check Levels routine and the Calibrate routines each time you use REW. This sets up the input and output levels to and from the soundcard, and aligns the internal REW SPL meter readout with that of the real SPL meter at the listening position.

Once completed you can do subsequent measures without any calibrations required, unless you change the receiver levels, or mic position, or speaker positions. Then you would have to do the Check Levels and Calibrate routines again (which only take a second).

When you do a Measurement for a sub, set the frequency limits to 0-200Hz.

When you post a graph for subwoofers, always use the standard Vertical graph axis of (45dB - 105dB) and the Horizontal graph axis of (15Hz - 200Hz) using the Graph Limits button in the top right corner of REW.
