I have i3,8gb ram pc…its not the RAM or anything…pls help

Are you applying this to longer or more tracks than in the past?

Try reinstalling Audacity with the “Reset Preferences” box enabled (half way through the installer). Then confirm you want to Reset Preferences when you launch Audacity after reinstallation.
