Hi Gale.

That's how i left the .cfg file, yeah.
I start it back up and i still see all the Pause buttons.

They don't necessarily change to the correct symbol and it is also distorted. It doesn't even last the session!

Resetting the toolbars doesn't change anything.

All machines are identical, iMac bootcamp images. I can't get at the machines at the moment to get driver versions etc. I'll try to as soon as i can. All, apart from 2 were working fine 1 week ago. Now i'm back and all of them are the same!

Why are you running Audacity in Boot Camp?
There is a native Mac OS X version of Audacity: http://audacityteam.org/download/mac

Don't get me started.....!

The course that's running in that suite originally requested Audacity on Mac. No problem at all.
The tutor came in on the first day and said she expected it on Windows and doesn't have a clue about Macs. No problem i thought as i have another 100 machines with Audacity and lame.dll working fine on XP. Then this happens.

They're getting by ok, but it's very strange.

This possibly points to some conflict between Audacity for Windows and Mac, maybe in video hardware/drivers, maybe requiring that extra code is added to flush out cache or somesuch. Have any of Audacity Team run Audacity for Windows on Boot Camp?

The other cases of this problem seem to be native Windows XP machines.
