most options greyed out on Vista

Post by jba701 » Mon May 09, 2011 11:24 pm

Hi all,

I downloaded 1.3x on my Vista computer, imported a track with the intention of doing some noise removal, but then found that noise removal and all other effects are greyed out. So are all the options under "Generate" and "Analyze." So are a good number of things on other menus. This happens whether or not I have a section highlighted in the audio. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you in Pause/Play mode instead of Stop mode?

You can't do much if you're playing the track, or in Pause mode.

Click the Stop button to go to stop mode. Does that solve your problem?
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).
