They are of the opinion that malware is causing the problem I lean that way as well. Keep us posted. If you want to try booting via msconfig as I show...If "Disable all" results in d'n'd working you can add items back a few at a time until the offender rears its ugly head then winnow down...

I will do the C++ code but the odds of getting it committed pre-2.0 are tiny. Even post-2.0 will be an uphill battle I suspect.

Frank, since you can resolve the d'n'd problem using SafeMode the next step is to figure out what is causing the problem. How are you entering SafeMode? What services are you disabling? Feel free to post screen/window grabs here! As an example...Run msconfig from the search/run field of the Start Me...

I have done something similar in C++ but there is no way the Audacity Developers will add this feature in the foreseeable future. My process was to start at "zero" time (in samples), set a label as "1" (based on converting an "placeholder" integer--initialized to 1--to ...

@Ed, what I was referring to in my question to you was your earlier post in this topic where you said: I just tried something like what you are doing and also had a problem with 1.3.15-alpha. I waited at least 5 minutes and Audacity still seemed "hung". My steps were to Generate 5 hours, ...

Unless your installed executable has become somehow corrupt, this is probably not being caused by Audacity. Are you sure the audio file (MP3) in question resides in a folder to which you have file system permission?

Look at the Edit toolbar. You may need to turn it on (see menu item View > Toolbars > Edit Toolbar ): for some unfathomable reason it looks like a tiny stopwatch.

That still leaves something unresolved with what Ed encountered. Can you reproduce that again with another file, Ed? I have only been able to repro the crash by importing the specific file in question. I suspect that the file was created "improperly" (somehow??) but, I also do not believe...

I think you lost me. [edit] Gale replied while I was composing my reply so attend to what he said first! Sometimes we elves over-estimate the abilities or understanding of the user to which we are replying; sometimes our replies are a bit over-detailed and boring; it is hard to strike a good balanc...

I just tested that file under the debugger and it did crash. The code it crashes in is beyond my ability to easily debug. The code involved is in: lib-srclibsndfilesrccommon.c line 383: static void header_seek (SF_PRIVATE *psf, sf_count_t position, int whence) { switch (whence) { case SEEK_SET : lib...
