Re: System locks up after short recording

Posted by dude on Sun, 07/24/2005 - 03:42.

I have the exact same problem. My computer is an HP
6470z. OS is Windows 98. 450MHz processor. Had 96MB RAM, just upgraded to 128MB RAM and problem still occurs.

I have been able to record audio a couple minutes long and export as mp3, but most of the time it lasts less than a minute. Sometimes just audacity locks up, somethimes the system locks up. If just audacity locks up, I can close it and re-open it to start over again. Most of the time, recording doesn't last more than a minute.

If anyone can tell me what's wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm using it to record music I'm making with friends in a band. It's basically a poor man's studio. I would really like to be able to record live music with free software on this old computer. If anyone knows of other free software that records audio input that will run on windows 98, please tell me where to find it.

Thank you in advance.
