Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (32-bit)
Audacity v. 2.0.6
.exe installer
Hello,
Came back to Audacity today after six months or so of not using it on this computer and found that each time I try to edit a file, I can playback the sound fine but the editing controls lock up and are displayed all in gray on the menus. Sometimes I can perform a few editing tasks before the menus gray out, and other times they gray out immediately after the file opens. I uninstalled my previous version and installed 2.0.6, but the same problem keeps happening with both. I also tried downloading the LAME encoder and FFmpeg libraries (also for v. 2.0.6) but didn’t notice a change.
Files more than 20 minutes long will also open very slowly, and the sound wave takes a while to appear in the project editing screen, sometimes accompanied by the “Not Responding” message from Windows before the file successfully opens.
Any help is much appreciated!
