<<<i tried using a different program>>> Which is? Stop using dark gray terms like that. You can't give us too much information. "I was able to use 32-bit Able-Audio® on my Dell Dimension Desktop machine with dual hard drives running Win7." We can't see over your shoulder and we're not all ...

We're able to rapidly weed out the balkanizing, walled-off applications by insisting each enthusiastic sales person be able to call our many existing, stable, already installed applications.

If they turn white and start mumbling about thousands of plugins, then we have our a...

I'm sitting quietly in the corner watching because I've never been able to get the 1.2 noise removal tool to do anything useful -- and I've tried. At least one elf has had very good results with it and is in the "removing it from my cold, dead fingers" camp. So here's hoping the developers...
