There are some known problems with the 1.3.8 release - see this thread: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 24&t=11513

Your issue may well be related to this.

It is the same issue that was causing 1.3.8 not to launch on some Windows XP machines.
You can get the fixed installer and zip files here:

Please note the current Beta is 1.3.12. It doesn't have the issue noted in this thread.
