@gale: the new timeline feature ''do not scroll while playing'' is awesome (for cutting) in combination with shift looping & start playback from cursor. so why not make the shift-loop button a drop down menu including these options and the possibility to also choose between the method of shift-loopi...

the new features are very useful, thank you.

but i think a global loop button on the other hand would have been much more prominent so to prevent future requests for it once and for all

i would also favour a loop button, as shift + space starts playback from the beginning of the track but not from the position of the cursor on. how can this be achieved easily (without marking a passage)?

exactly, only visual studio c++ 2008 redistributable package sp1 is present. concerning the two dlls, i have searched my computer using everything (tool) and they are only present in audacity and firefox portable, so that should be no harm. the event viewer (system log) only showed the already known...

Perhaps this is a language problem, but I did look, and you did not answer directly that you had 32-bit XP as far as I can see, until now. maybe i did not make it clear enough, but please have a look at http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=272375&sid=74b5404accc12a30ecc42be2d783dea5#p27237...

gale, i appreciate your help a lot. but how often do i have to repeat myself? 1. i forgot the additional REDISTRIBUTABLE in my inital post. i never had 'visual studio' installed, because i am NOT a DEVELOPER. 2. i am not using the portable version, i just unpacked the STANDARD ZIP VERSION and made i...

Then reboot and try running 2.1.0. If that still fails we may have to dig deeper. ok, i have uninstalled a...

i think you got me wrong. it is only redistributables that i have installed and that i was refering to. installing vs2013 red. was a test, to see, if it solves the starting issue. i was not aware of the fact, the 32bit version should not be installed on less than win7 sp1. even more i am curious to ...

Audacity does launch on XP SP3 without Visual Studio which is the main case. and i have only installed latest vstudio after facing this issue, hoping to solve problems. I notice that Visual Studio 2013 should not be installed on less than Windows 7 SP1, according to Microsoft ( https://www.visualst...

i tried different locations, unpacked the zip again, with empty portable folder, no luck. the error remains. the 2 dlls are present in the folder. regarding visual studio, i already took the redistributables, vs 2005 - 2013 are installed. the setup cd that came with my pc already included sp3 and i ...
