Does anyone know if, with the current version of Audacity, one could reduce or remove echo effects that came with the song or the echo effects left behind as a result of using the vocal remover? If so, how?

I remember once using a third-party VST effect to do something like that, but I've forgotten it. Sorry I'm not much more help

Why was the Courier New font made? I thought it was for trademark/copyright reasons, but then I looked it up and it said the original Courier font can be used by anyone since IBM didn't ... legally exclusive it, whatever that means. So now I don't know.
I attempted to google this, but ended up with results about religion, which I don't understand.

The um, 'type' of you new Ram should match that of the old I believe.
You should get RAM that's no slower than what you currently have, and your final number of RAM sticks should be even, in pairs of equal size. (So 4x2048MB works, as does 2x512MB + 2x4096MB or simply 2x8192MB.)

Is it a problem if I run defrag and, after it's finished, I have lost 20 gigabytes of free space?

Does that include 32-bit windows vista?
And tbh, I've no clue whatsoever how I lost that 20 gigs, and it's especially irritating since it's only a 137 gig hd on a laptop from 2008 and I now have only 3.63 gigs of free space left. At the start of the day yesterday, I had 23 or so. All I did yesterday was listen to music and fiddle around with Celestia, and that folder is only 7 gigs. And no, I did not move music files or even add music, my music collection was exactly the same as it has always been.

Eh, I notice my Mozilla Thunderbird files get incredibly fragmented and sort of laggy/disk activity unless I do it once a day.
@ Plutonian Empire:
This probably shouldn't happen, but if defragmenting and increased disk usage are related my guess would be shadow copies. I'd check restore points and such.
Definitely try to solve this quickly, and move some data elsewhere if you can't. Automatic disk maintenance becomes less smooth on nearly full hard drives, details differ by filesystem.
To my knowledge, NTFS prefers to have around 15% to play with.

I'm not saying you are wrong because you are correct, but it has happened sometimes to me where the defrag task becomes corrupted and therefore doesn't run. The end result is a drive which isn't being maintained on a regular basis so it doesn't hurt just to check.

Well, interestingly, I uninstalled an application that had about 100 to 200 megabytes, and the free space shot up to 47 gigs. Dunno what that was about, but it's been ther a few days now, so...

Some software uses lots of temporary files that don't show up on the programsize counter

How come when I'm playing some games (such as any of the Civs or pretty much any strategy game) I can alt+tab out of the game and into something else, but when I'm playing some other games (such as Crysis) alt+tab won't work at all?

I think it maybe have to do with 3D, DirectX and stuff. I don't know for sure.
You should leave 20-25% of your main drive free for swap files, de-fragging and so on. If you have only 3.63 Gb left, attempts to de-fragment your system will fail.
