Downloaded program in wrong language

Post by Recruiter_Mike » Sat Apr 18, 2009 7:05 pm

Hi,
When I went to download Audacity, I accidentally selected the wrong langauge. I removed the program and downloaded it again, but this time it did not ask for a langauge, it went directly former langauge. How do I correct this problem?

I wonder if you used Windows' Add/Remove Programs to get rid of the old Audacity. The language selection is buried in the Audacity Preferences which, in turn, is buried in the Windows Registry. If Audacity didn't ask you "English?" at the beginning, then the old preferences are still in force and it will keep coming up wrong every time.

I think there is a special tool to fix this, but you need to wait for the one of the serious Windows helpers to come by.

Thanks I did try that a couple of times, to no avial. I received another reply that gave me a link to a wiki section that walked me through the steps I needed to take.
