Re: XP reboots when starting Audacity

I checked the drivers - I do have the latest version. I've seen the new post - Yes it does a reboot just as if I'd just switched it off at the mains and then on again (not as if I'd done a 'restart' from the menu when it does a lot of closing-down activity first).

Re: XP reboots when starting Audacity

XP reboots when starting Audacity

I've sucessfully installed Audacity on my laptop which uses Vista. On my main pc, using XP professional, Audacity 1.2 causes a reboot when I run it (after choosing the language I want) Audacity 1.3 causes a reboot as soon as I choose 'run' at the end of the install process. In both cases there are n...
