All installed well...but I still couldn't get Audacity to "remember" my settings...be it in version 1.2.6, or the 1.3.9 beta. Forget about running Audacity 1.2.6 Does Audacity 1.3.9 run in Vista SP2 compatibility mode? Have you tried the Audacity 1.3.10 (nightly) version? If not, give it ...

Record the amp with a microphone.

Audacity should be run on the local computer and not across a network. Until Audacity 2.0 is released the latest (beta) version is highly recommended (the 1.2.6 version is now very old and often gives problems on newer hardware).
