Probably worth testing it again when Audacity 1.4 comes out (due in September).

How much free space do you have on your C: drive?

I'm worried installing VM and Linux will just make things even more complicated You wouldn't need to install VM. Just install Linux as a dual boot option (or install on another machine). You can try out Linux without installing by booting from a "Live CD" (a good way to test it out, thoug...

It's free, and I've been very impressed with it.
