Program ceases to respond can anyone help

[bladnoch350]

Every 3 or 4 recordings the program ceases to respond and I have to switch it off. When I switch it on it then says that I have temporary files saved but I cannot access them and therefore have to repeat the recording. I have recently changed my computer and the new operating system is Windows Vista. My old one was XP could there be a compatibility problem with the Windows Vista as this problem has only started since the change.

Can I join in here? I have an associated problem with Audacity. Sometimes after saving files (as AUDACITY and WAV after I have done quite a bit of editing) when I re-open them the wave form appears on screen but there is no sound. Is this what you class as a crash or do I need more memory on my computer to process this?

It is recommended that you use the latest 1.3.x version of Audacity on Vista.
See here for some tips on running Audacity on Vista: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... s_Vista_OS

Actually, yours is completely different since your Audacity is still running.

It's not unusual for an Audacity Project to be silent, there are a lot of ways to break a Project, but it's Most unusual for the WAV file to be silent. Are you sure they're both silent?

We advocate Exporting As WAV as a safety backup in case your Project falls over. Did you Export to get the WAV file?
