Hi James,
could you just check whether the problem is that you have no audio
selected. If you press Ctrl+A to select all the audio, are the items in the
Effect menu now available?

Well apparently I have an issue that is defeating me, and I hope that
one of you can help me out.
My problem is simply that when I install Audacity 2.0.6 onto a computer
with XP Professional, it installs really well. I have now installed and
uninstalled Audacity a bunch of different times, and I have tried a bunch
of different versions. Audacity 2.1.3 will load on the computer, but when
I try to start the program I get an error message that says that Audacity
has failed to initialize properly, and it then just goes away. I have
loaded several things that was supposed to fix this issue, but non of them
have helped. This is why I am working with Audacity 2.0.6 on the specific
XP Professional laptop.
So now 2.0.6 is working very well, and I'm happy. I'm learning
Audacity, and am really loving it! My problem is that everything that is
listed in the Effects menu is, unavailable. I have gone to Program Files
in Windows to the Audacity folder, and there has been two folders that were
created when I installed Audacity. One of the folders is called Plug-Ins,
and the other folder has the name of a particular type of effect file, but
I can't remember what it is, and can not get to the laptop in question
right now. But when I have looked in these two folders, there are a bunch
of effect files. I have done a search, and did not find any other Plug-Ins
folders, or anything else that I thought may be confusing Audacity. I have
gone to the Preferences section of Audacity and have made sure that all of
the effect types are checked, as well as the check box that allows Audacity
to search for effect files the next time it is started. It actually comes
up with a screen that says that it is loading files, but when it is
finished and I land on the track view, I have no effects that are
functioning. I have made sure that one of my sound files is selected, but
nothing seems to work. It is frustrating because Audacity is working
great, other than for the fact that it will not make friends with the
effects that were with it when I installed Audacity.
Help!!!
James
