I have The 10.6.8 OS and i can get audacity to work. Read through the forum and tried to do what was advised but no luck. Put the folder in apps and opened and still wont open. Got an error that said like error -1172. Can't figure out what the problem could be. Need any help please

Are you running Parallels and Windows on your Mac? Koz

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

Meantime have you tried setting audacity.cfg to prevent Audacity loading VST and Audio Unit plug-ins? Please see here

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