Another variable to this equation is that Bob only has eight gigs of RAM in
this particular laptop. I have experienced similar things to happen as he has
been describing with 16 gigs of RAM in the two laptops I own but had many many
files in dropbox on that rather small seat drive. So, my theory is that he is
exhausting his system resources both in terms of storage and quite possibly
with ram. I do not remember, however, what his processor speed is,
unfortunately. Though, that might be part of this equation as well.

Hi all,
Well, I spoke with Ted on the phone for about an hour yesterday and
had him stumped. The only theory we could come up with is that my hard
drive is about 70% full, which was causing things to slow down. I
would have thought though that I would be experiencing more problems
than just Audacity. The other thing that's puzzling here is that when
I open Audacity first, I don't have the problem, even when I open
other applications with Audacity still running. However, if I then
close Audacity and reopen it, it locks up as described earlier.
