other progs like audacity and cool edit 2000 worked.
i had a codec package installed and removed it. after that adobe worked. i installed another codec pack and it still worked.
now i probably got a hardware problem. i run win2k, a pentium 500 and 250MB working memory. after the first 10 seconds i start recording a tape(thats the point when the windows updates theres a kind of electric hiss which appears sometimes durin a track.
could it be that my pc is just to slow? when i listen to an audio cd on my pc cd drive theres also sometimes an electric noise, but not when i listen top mp3s from my hard disc.
