That's not the same thing. You get Audacity opening screens and then they crash, or you get an error message and Audacity never shows up at all?

If you haven't done this yet, it's worth a shot.

Desktop > Go > Utilities > Disk Utilities > select your system drive > Verify Disk and Repair Permissions.

Please attach the Mac crash report and an image of Error 1172. Please see here for how to attach files http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=64936 .

Meantime have you tried setting audacity.cfg to prevent Audacity loading VST and Audio Unit plug-ins? Please see here http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/User: ... ces_on_Mac .

I don't have an audacity.cfg and you may not either. There's instructions in that posting how to make one.
