    I lost my Ctrl Shift E

    So I used to use this shortcut all of the time to export from Audacity, & then I started getting this error (no clue what that Radeon is, maybe it's my MB? LOL No, my MB is something else Micro) https://nimb.ws/6vtg5hT

    I searched in that software for desktop recordings & turned it on, but that's NOT what Audacity does, it exports the MP3 file, so I got confused.

    When I went to use the hotkey, now I get this. sigh https://nimb.ws/CYgaw0m

    Please help.

    Thanks

    I cannot check those images at present. I will try to check them later today. If you could post the text of the error message(s), that would be helpful.

    Radeon is your video card. If you are not using the Radeon keyboard shortcuts, you can disable them.

    Well I AM using the shortcut, that's what I said, right? But it's no longer working & it's not for recording, it's for exporting from Audacity. I turned it off b/c clearly it's not working properly.

    That's why I said to disable keyboard shortcuts in the Radeon app. It sounds like Radeon is overriding your Audacity hotkeys.

    Have you tried reinstalling Audacity to try and reset settings to default? Also try doing a file search for the missing mp4 files to see if they're in an new/unknown folder on your hard drive as indicated in that error message.

    Since you are on Windows 7 it would be a good idea to reinstall the same version you are currently using because Audacity doesn't test the new versions on Win 7.

    Older versions here if necessary:

    YES, that's what it was. Someone else told me, but Thank you TOO!!!!

    Now I have no idea who that turned on the Radeon app b/c I sure didn't do it.

    Thanks again.

    What missing MP4 files? The ones I'm sure were deleted from my computer? I didn't mention that in this thread.

    I do have to reinstall Win 7, but I need someone to be on the phone with me to hold my hand when I do it b/c it's not easy to do when they have made it so new hardware won't allow Win 7.

    I had to buy an PS3 (I think it is) mouse to bypass them blocking USB.

    Anyway, I haven't been able to find someone let alone someone I trust, & they will just try to FEAR PORN me to switch to dangerous Win 10.

    It wasn't Audacity in the end, but thanks for the link.

    I hope you are well.
