Re: Audacity Already Running

Gale,
All the info. by right clicking on the speaker icon works fine.
I have found computers have a mind of there own - perhaps the threat of the sledgehammer made it work?
I hope all this effort will benefit other users if they have the same problem.
Thank you once again.
Brian.

Re: Audacity Already Running

Thank you all for your advice and assistance. Yesterday Audacity finally worked - and today it is still working.

Re: Audacity Already Running

Gale, It does seem that the sound divice is causing the problem. My computer is a DEll XPS 430 - originally using VIsta, but as soon as Windows 7 became available I converted the operating system. This was very easy to do and I had no problems after that. Six months ago my C Drive packed up and an e...

Re: Audacity Already Running

Dear Gale, Got totally confused so once again deleted Audacity and reinstalled it (5th.time!). I did change Audacity .cfg (found in User/Brian/AppData/Roaming/audacity) to the settings as per your attachment. There are four VST Plugins in C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premier Elements 4.0. I have not ...

Re: Audacity Already Running

Thanks for your prompt reply. My Windows 7 was upgraded from Vista. As I have been using Audacity for some years without any problems I must have had older versions, the latest being Audacity 1.3 Beta.I almost certainly had Audacity 1.2 installed. I am not running Audacity on a network - just this c...

Re: Audacity Already Running

Koz, Each time I installed Audacity I restarted the computer. If you mean by a 'Dead Stop' a complete shutdown no, but I have since receiving your post removed Audacity (for the 4th. time), re-installed it and shut down the computer completely. I have now powered up the computer and the problem is s...
