Woohoo! Rolling back the driver worked! Audacity opened, I used it a few times, opened and closed it, all went well.

Thank you Gale, Steve and Koz for your helpful responses!

Ok, running it in safe mode (that .1.3.7 seemed to be Mac only, so I re-installed 1.2.6 and tried with that one) seemed to work. I haven't loaded any VSTs... the only thing I added to Audacity was that LAME mp3 encoder, and I added that long before the problem started (and used audacity many times w...

I have ITunes on this P...

No, it wouldn't even open properly the first time. It just opens up to the grey box (and the welcome screen in front of it) but doesnt fill in any of the words or images. And the cursor is stuck in hourglass mode.

I've never used Windows Sound Recorder, but I'll look into it...
