Hi, not a new topic I know. I resurrected an old PC to digitise my vinyl, tried to install Audacity and end up with the old “failed to start due to incorrect config” problem. Installed the 2008 C++ patch. When I try to start Audacity, PC crashes and reboots every time I try. Even tried an old version with same results
Running XP Pro 32 bit, SP3.
Any ideas?
Most likely a driver problem.
Check the sound card drivers first as they are the most likely culprits. If there’s still a problem, check the video card drivers.
