No, definitely no shift button pressed, that ‘green thing’ just showed up when i hovered over another button. Other machines are identical too. It’s bizarre.
I’ve now tried the 1.3.14 beta and i get the same result!
Is there definitely no flash / silverlight style install i need as well?
It’s peculiar that you have the same thing on two machines but I’ve never heard of anyone else with this issue.
As logging on with a different account “fixes” the problem I suspect that there’s something wrong in the “audacity.cfg” file. audacity.cfg is a per-user “Preferences” file.
Picked this up after a week off and i’m going to have to have a look at it as it has suddenly stopped working for everyone including guest users.
I’ve tried resetting the Preferences as a guest user and it hasn’t worked.
The application data folder is redirected. Hopefully i can find a user that works, check that cfg file and see if i can copy that to all the users redirected App Data folder.
@Gale,
I’m chipping in with one of my “off the wall” thoughts. This chap has done 15 full installs and not one server-side install with 15 “hook-ups” hasn’t he? From the posts, it is not 100% clear to me what the answer to that question is. With your detailed knowledge of Audacity, you are in a better position than me to assess whether it might be relevant or not.

That’s how i left the .cfg file, yeah.
I start it back up and i still see all the Pause buttons.
They don’t necessarily change to the correct symbol and it is also distorted. It doesn’t even last the session!
Resetting the toolbars doesn’t change anything.
All machines are identical, iMac bootcamp images. I can’t get at the machines at the moment to get driver versions etc. I’ll try to as soon as i can. All, apart from 2 were working fine 1 week ago. Now i’m back and all of them are the same!
The course that’s running in that suite originally requested Audacity on Mac. No problem at all.
The tutor came in on the first day and said she expected it on Windows and doesn’t have a clue about Macs. No problem i thought as i have another 100 machines with Audacity and lame.dll working fine on XP. Then this happens.
This possibly points to some conflict between Audacity for Windows and Mac, maybe in video hardware/drivers, maybe requiring that extra code is added to flush out cache or somesuch. Have any of Audacity Team run Audacity for Windows on Boot Camp?
The other cases of this problem seem to be native Windows XP machines.
