Hope the backlash from the trouble I've had didn't hurt your fingers!

 I got a "new" computer from my local dealer. First it has win11 on it. I wasn't
happy, but you have to upgrade sooner or later. It was 'game' computer and has a
solid state hard drive so I couldn't just drop my drives into it and continue on
like nothing has happened.
 I spent the last week getting things backs to the way I like. Setting up the
display, shortcuts to my many programs, disabling lots win11 stuff. I was right
in the middle of working on an animation when my computer died and I was ready
to start back on it. AND THEN...

 Have you ever ran in to this? I loaded a wave file into Audacity(audio editor)
and the first .5 seconds was silent. Audacity showed the wave form but when
played the first .5 second was silent. While trying to find the exact drop I
selected segments closer & closer to the .5 of a second. I found that no mater
where in the wave you selected it wouldn't play the first .5 of a second of it.
So I went to Audacity forum and ask about this. While waiting for an answer I
tested other audio software and found that everything has that .5 of a second
drop.
 The only audio software that doesn't seem to drop is Anvil. But it has problems
with volume control and playing more than one note at a time.

Tomorrow The computer going back!
