Audacity doesn't start[SOLVED]

Hi all,
I never had any problem with this great software (I installed it about two weeks ago completing succesfully a number of recordings) until today, when I tried to open it without success.

I'm a Os X 10.6.8 user. The issue I experience is that the process remains in memory, fans work a lot, but the gui doesn't start and I have to force quit it.

I had the last official version, I tried to remove and reinstall, as well as downgrade with a previous version or upgrade with a nightly build, but the problem remains the same.

Any help really appreciated.

Have you added new plug-ins since the problem started?

Have you tried the procedure here http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/User: ... ces_on_Mac ?

If this doesn't help can you find the Mac Crash Reports? Open Finder, then choose Go > Go to Folder and type:

Code: Select all

~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
Attach the latest crash report for Audacity. Please see here for how to attach files: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=64936 .

Wow. The config.cfg reset procedure solved the problem!
Thanks a lot :)
