If tests 7 and 8 are identical as it appears then it seems no conclusion can be drawn except that it may sometimes help to have audio playing and to access "Sound" before opening Audacity.

OK--thank you all again for your help. To somewhat conclude this thread, I would like to report that Gale's suggestion of reverting to v1.3.12 corrected my problem instantaneously and provided the features I need. No more headaches and a lot of fun!

OK, thanks. Let us know if this proves to be a flash-in-the-pan and still sometimes gives "error opening".
Since I assume the PortAudio version is the difference, you could perhaps keep a lookout for new Audacity releases by subscribing at
http://audacityteam.org/#announce (if you are not already doing so). The release notes for a new Audacity version will state if PortAudio has been updated. There are a lot of good bug fixes between 1.3.12 and later versions.
