Audacity crashes when I use noise removal.

Perhaps you need to uncheck the "Snap To" box to the left of the selection bar at the bottom of the screen. If that is checked, the cursor will always jump to the nearest division of whatever time units you have selected with the drop-down box at the right end of each of the selection boxes. If that is seconds, the cursor will always jump to the nearest full second when "Snap To" is checked.

Nope not the issue. I zoom in, I highlight about 0.3 seconds to 4.5 seconds (beginning of a track), I select "Effect | Noise Removal" I click on "Get Noise Profile", usually it will "play" the selection. Instead it flashes and highlights the track by putting a yellow bold line around it.

If I do a select all, it "plays" the track as I have seen before.

<<<I'm working on certain projects.>>>

Which are? We tend to go with what you tell us whether it's enough or not. This time it may not be enough. What is the project? What kind of sound is it and where did you get it from? Details, details.

We got led down the garden path once when a poster was trying to edit a 9-hour project -- and not telling us. It wasn't that he was hostile. It just never came up and that kind of editing is brittle and extraordinarily difficult to do.

The first user to post to this thread may have, but my somewhat similar issue I think has all this info.

You mean it plays the selection when you press the "Get Noise Profile" button?
I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that - never has on any of my machines.

Do you have any custom keyboard shortcuts set?
Are you familiar with how to reset Audacity Preferences? (may be worth a try http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audac ... defaults_2 )

I should have said "Sample", but that is only when I do a "Select All". Any partial selection fails to do anything. Like nothing is selected.

I don't think I have set anything, but more then happy to reset. Checked the registry and no values have been set.

I've no idea what you mean.

You realise that using Noise Removal is a 2 step process?
Step 1) - select a region of noise only and press "Get Noise Profile" (nothing visible happens)
Step 2) - select where you want to apply Noise Removal and press the OK button (selection is processed and some noise is reduced.)

Now I see my problem. I thought there would be a popup showing it taking the sample. But it didn't. My mind is going.
