    well there's some option on vista to open something if something happens from what i believe, and i've somehow made it so the program audacity opens when my network fails to connect which is really annoying me now, how do disable this?

    cheers

    I believe this is what you need: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6ef5399f-a0b6-4133-ac76-41cda36b1ca21033.mspx

    The options to associate file types is probably where you want to go. I'm guessing there's some file that comes up when the network fails to connect, and you've set Audacity to open that type of file (or it happens to have an Audacity extension).

    Not sure why it would open a program when the network fails to connect, though. Usually that gives a popup telling you it cannot connect.

    Sounds like a good idea for the Windows Critical Stop for the Windows sound scheme.

    It is probably trying to play a sound file that audacity has associated itself with rather than the appropriate media player. Definitely look in your associated file types window or uninstall audacity and see what happens.
