Audacity hangs opening project

Post by JorgeBurgos » Thu May 20, 2010 11:12 pm

Hi,
I recorded a very simple project but when I try to open it, Audacity hangs.
I'm using Karmic Koala 9.10, Audacity 1.3.9.

The project opens and I can see the wave, but then my whole computer slows down considerably and I have to kill Audacity through system monitor.

I tried to attach a file to the forum but I couldn't upload it - its 17MB, could anyone help me out?

Is your computer very old and/or has very little ram?

Try to record and save a new project and tell us if the same happens again.
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).

No I've been using Audacity quite a bit for much bigger things.
My computer is less than 4 years old.

Just to be clear, is it just this specific project that causes the problem, or is Audacity now freezing with all projects?
Do you have a very large amount of label text in the project?
