Audacity Forum

That did it! Thank you so much -- I never would have thought of that.

Sorry, you lost me: What Options button? What is the file browser? Clicking on he file menu shows no "options" button. Help.

My fervent hope. Thanks.

The drop-down menu is: New, Open, Open Recent, Close, Save Project, Export, Import, Page Setup, Print. As I said, using Open shows the aup file greyed out -- even on my test recording, let alone an older one. Only the Open Recent option allows me to open that test recording.

There is just one explanation: In updating Audacity to 2.1 I lost everything that had been worked on in the previous version. Look, I like the progra...

Well, thank you. Then this is absolutely stupefying: there is absolutely no way I would have deleted these files and they have just disappeared. No one else has access to my computer. Maybe it's time to start believing in little green men (sob, sob). Back to the drawing board -- I have the unedited ...
