Gale,

Thanks for your patience.
The Audacity Log in question is attached.
What threw me off is that the Log "button" didn't look like a button to me. Just a title.

I do have the 2.0.3 version but didn't know it was outdated. The only place I can find the Log file is under Help at the bottom of the list, but as soon as I click on it, the rest of the program becomes unclickable making it impossible to save. I don't see any other Log button "near the top." I do n...

Hi Gale, No, I didn't do "Save As" unfortunately. I opened the files, did right click and selected "Rename," which it allowed me to do, but when I returned, I had the problem.

now I need to get the Audacity volume up so I can go back to work. Do you mean the recording volume, playback volume or both? I THINK IT IS THE RECORDING LEVEL AS THE WAVE FORM BARELY GOES ABOVE THE VERTICAL LINE. I discovered: 1. That the volume is low on my computer EXCEPT when I use my headset f...

Gale, I apologize for being so long to pick up the thread of this conversation. Life intervenes, and now I need to get the Audacity volume up so I can go back to work. In the meantime I discovered: 1. That the volume is low on my computer EXCEPT when I use my headset for playback and then it is loud...

Koz,

I found the recorder on my XP and discovered that it was checked for in line rather than microphone.
Thinking this could be the issue, but am on vacation and don't have my external mike to try it out.
Will be in touch once I can try that.
Thanks,
Maridel

I don't know what Windows Sound Recorder is.
