can't export mp3 missing lame dll

[sprcpr]

If I missed this in a search I appologize.

Downloaded and installed Audacity 1.2.6 -no problem

Downloaded lame plugin, installed into plugin folder within audacity -no problem

create sound file and try to export as an mp3. Audacity asks for location of lame_enc.dll. Navigate to the plugins folder and can see the .dll file. select the file and audacity behaves as if nothing has happened. Will not export.

Again, I need to stress that I can navigate to the folder, select the file. The .dll file is present in the plugin folder. Audacity just doesn't seem to "remember" the location. This problem happened on 2 identical machines today. 5 others worked flawlessly.



Things I have tried

1. Removed lame_enc.dll and reran setup
2. redownloaded lame and tried a reinstall
3. pulled lame_enc.dll from a working machine with a jump drive and tried replacing the file on the problem machine.
4. restart the problem machine

Thank you for your help!!

Audacity 1.2 is now rather old, you will probably be best to update to 1.3.
