I'm not familiar with Windows 8, but to make the file association you may need to browse to the audacity.exe file (or whatever you have renamed it as) to select it - it may not be offered in the default list.

A developer did recently try a couple of Audio Unit plug-ins that were reported to crash Audacity, but could not get a crash. Do feel free to look in /Applications/Utilities/Console and let us have the most recent crash report in there. Here is how to attach files http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewt...

Windows 7, SP1, 64 bit. Probably via installer. Project: download LPs to hard drive. Example: I record a Paul Robeson record, hit control M to get approximate divisions. When finished, I remove some noise, move the marker to just before the song, (including the first song) and enter a label. When I...
