FAQ:Errors opening a new empty project
From Audacity Development Manual
This page deals with errors that you may encounter when opening Audacity or opening a new (empty) project in Audacity
The Message
We don't know exactly what causes this message to happen. It can happen at start up of Audacity, or when creating a new project window. If the problem happens often, we think the problem may be related to the type of hard drive you are using for Audacity (for example a network drive), or to anti-virus or to indexing software (which keeps the drive busy).
- Please open the Show Log panel, and cut and paste the message from there and send it to us on the Audacity Forum.
