Forget about trying to run Audacity 1.2 on Windows 7 (Audacity 1.2 was written back in the days of Win98)
Download the latest beta version (currently 1.3.9) and follow the instructions here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... s_Vista_OS

Did you find a fix for running Audacity on 7? I have just upgraded and am having the same problem! Thanks.

You'll need to be sure you have 64-bit drivers meant for Windows 7 (or at least for Vista). In 1.3.9, you will get a crash opening preferences unless you enable an input and output device in the system mixer (this is already fixed in our post-1.3.9 code).
