You guys are great, thanks so much for all your help and advice!!!

Thanks very much. I will install a better anti virus software etc, you may well be right. There was just one last question: If i have 3 tracks in a project but I want to burn them onto CDs separately, how do i do that? how do I select just track one and then 2 and lastly track 3, so i end up with 3 ...

I tried importing the data into the project again...but something weird has happened. Every wmp data icon in the data folder has a second one added after it , which is not recoginzed... so if there is a wmp "b00001.au" there is another icon after it saying "b00002.auf" Not sure w...

I did not do a defragment. or an error check (this one I do not know how to do). I have the project file and I have the data.

That brought back all my wmp files, so that was a good start. ...

When I moved my entire My documents folder over to the external drive last night, for some odd reason all my windows media player files disappeared. They are neither on the new external drive nor in my laptop...this is completely crazy. Without those files I am basically screwed. I tried to do a sea...

Ok, great, I fully understand what you are saying and understand the principle. I can clearly see the .aup file and the _data file, and the data file contains all those little wmp icons that are not actually wmp files, as you explained. The names are the same- they still however, contain capitals an...

Hi,
yes I did make that change, and yes, I do have .wav after the name of the test file.

Hi, test done. You asked me to try the following : "Go into Audacity Preferences and change them to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo from wherever they are now. They may be 32-bit or Mono instead of stereo. When you set the new numbers, restart Audacity to make sure they stick. Make a really simple record...
