Hi
Need some help quickly. When I open Audacity on my desktop and click on the record button, I get a Not Responding message and sure enough the task manager tells me it's not responding. A reboot of Windows helps for one session only whereupon it comes up 'not responding' again.
Running the latest version
Windows XP
Thanks Bob H

Re: Opening the program
It takes Windows out?
What are you recording? Or what would you be recording....?

Hi Koz
Recording voice only, no music. The program just freezes and won't allow me to start a recording then it tells me that Audacity is not responding. Only rebooting the computer makes it return.

Re: Opening the program
Hi Bob
Are you still recording with the PreSonus Audiobox or something else?
Does this also happen when recording with the inbuilt sound device, or with Presonus disconnected?
Anything changed on your computer since the problem started?
Have you tried resetting Audacity Preferences:

Re: Opening the program
No changes Gale, still with the Presonus, I will try with the internal device.
Re: Opening the program
I'm attaching 2 screenshots. This only occurs overnight and I even stopped the overnight backup but i wonder if there's a conflict with my Norton 360. Could that be doing something overnight? As soon as I reboot it comes back and stays that way.

Re: Opening the program
It sounds like "something" is interrupting the sound card. If you suspect Norton, try disconnecting from the Internet and running a test with Norton completely shut down.

Re: Opening the program
Bob,
Is the "Not responding" problem still there, too?
