hi i dont want to sound like an idiot but i will anyway lol
my audacity started crashing on startup. its either the plugins i added or its the 16gb of memory i added to my system.
i have wanted to try to fix it and i keep coming across these solutions that people write but i have no idea how to implement the solution.
how do i exactly fix this or try to? what do i do with these codes? thanks for any help in advance.

Re: Crash on startup
I started a fresh topic for this.
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audio ... ch_or_hang
to disable VST and / or Audio Units in Audacity.
This would mean you can't run any Audio Units or VST in Audacity unless you can identify the ones you added that caused a problem and move them somewhere Audacity won't look for them. The link above says where Audacity looks for Audio Units - here is where Audacity looks for VST effects:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/VST_P ... #locations .
If Audacity still crashes after disabling Audio Units and VST effects, please attach a crash report (use "Upload attachment" underneath where you post messages). Here is how to find the crash report:
