Audacity 1.3. Beta will not save wav in XP

[meows]

I tryed and tryed, 6 times,, rebooted, checked the temp files. I exported and it said it saved the file but the file was never there, It showed in Recent Documents and you can play it from there, but it was a shortcut to where the file was supposed to be saved to., I did not boot to DOS and check to see if the export wav was there, I just removed Audacity 1.3.x (Beta and installed the older version,.

You can get file insanity if you put punctuation marks in your filename. No dates. Computers hate slash marks in filenames. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscore and dash are safe. I don't use spaces, either.

No did not use spaces or any thing.. 1.wav 2.wav etc.. nothing saved.

...file was never there, It showed in Recent Documents and you can play it from there, but it was a shortcut to where the file was supposed to be saved to.,

If the file plays from Recent Documents, it was exported. Right-click over the shortcut > Properties and look in the "Target" box to see where the file was exported to.
