Hi, I've been having the same problem. I also live in the Czech Republic. I have a Windows 10 and the error still occurs. I also tried to change the preferences to "local settings" in audacity, but the program still uses commas instead of decimals. It's truly infuriating.

I don't have Windows 7 (it is now obsolete), but I think the problem is that you have conflicting settings regarding what the decimal separator is. You need to go through the Windows settings and ensure that the decimal separator is either set as a comma in all places, or a dot in all places. Check that in the "Regional and Language Options" that the "locale" ("regional setting") is consistent with the number format settings.

So Windows keeps moving things around...

I think steve means:

Settings (or Control Panel) > Time/Clock/Language and Region > Region (Change date, time, or number formats) > (Region Formats) Additional Settings > Decimal Settings
