Windows.

Audacity may be looking for good, clean, defragmented hard drive space to work in. How much hard drive space is there and when was the last time you error checked and defragmented? Audacity will not work into a highly fragmented hard drive no matter how much room you seem to have.

Don't even think of moving a Project. The forum is littered with people who can't open up their Projects for one reason or another. Sometimes we never find the reason and the show is lost. One poster lamented that he does this all the time, but the last time, two-fifths of his grouped Projects would...

That last happened along with the HiDef tape m...

Have you ever Repaired Permissions on your machine? You can do a disk check while you're in there. Go > Utilities > Disk Utility Select your drive. Mine's called Jimmy Hard Drive. Sometimes they're called MacHD. Verify Disk. Don't repair anything. When that completes, Repair Permissions. That one sh...
