What happens if you do this
1) Open Audacity
2) Generate 30 seconds of Silence

What happens after you destroy your registry and Windows will no longer start? You're holding a perfect, correct, clear backup of the registry on a CD in your hand. Now what?

A lot of the problems to date with Windows 7 is with the sound card drivers. You have probably got a better chance of success using the latest 1.3 beta version than with Audacity 1.2, but you still need to check that you have the latest available drivers for your sound card.
