Re: Audacity 2.0.4 does not launch
Reboot your computer, then try re-installing and in the "Select Additional Tasks" screen, put a check in the "Reset Preferences" box. Complete the installation. On launching Audacity, a dialog should appear asking you to confirm if you want to reset preferences - select Yes to reset preferences.M.Klimek wrote:After I was unable start Audacity 2.0.4
Does that work?
If not, are there any error messages?
Please describe in detail what happens.

Re: Audacity 2.0.4 does not launch
Did you select "Reset Preferences"? That is important or reinstalling will make no difference at all (it may not make a difference if you reset preferences, but it is worth trying).M.Klimek wrote:I reinstalled Audacity Audacity 2.0.4.

Re: Audacity 2.0.4 does not launch
I did select 'Reset Preferences' .
Regardless, when launched, the program does not have a window.
Should I try an earlier version?

Audacity 2.0.3 is available here: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/downl ... =1&q=2.0.3M.Klimek wrote:Should I try an earlier version?
You should view using 2.0.3 as a temporary measure. It seems to affect only a few XP machines, which makes it difficult to track down the problem because we have not been able to reproduce the issue. When a solution is found I hope that you will be able to test it, which will then give you the benefit of the many improvements that have been made in Audacity 2.0.4.
