This will reset preferences but also disable Audacity scanning for VST effects. In the “Audacity” folder inside Application Data, delete the file “audacity.cfg” if it exists, then paste in the attached file renamed to “audacity.cfg” (without quotes). If you don’t see the Application Data folder, follow the steps at to show hidden files and folders. I am not sure if you ever see the Install VST Effects Dialogue when you launch Audacity but I suggest making sure Audacity is quit in Task Manager, then open C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataAudacity
This makes it very important you disconnect the internet before turning off your virus checker.ĭid you ever launch Audacity with Avast! totally switched off? Avast! is a possible cause but it may have multiple processes that you must ensure are not running.
Please be aware of Windows XP support has ended - Microsoft Windows.
