    | 2. I set "beep on" in preferences, loaded a 3+ minute file and applied 
    | Change Tempo with setting -50%. It took at least two minutes to process, 
    | at which point I did not hear a bell.

I've already reported that beep is not working for me on Win XP SP2 so I'm
glad you confirmed this. I'm therefore going to put this as a priority aim-to 
on the Checklist for it to be looked at (or remove the preference, or release
note it.)    


    | 1. While I was working on and testing delay.ny tonight, 1.3.4 would 
    | occasionally do the effect - but when I pressed the space bar to play, I
    | got dinged, every time I pressed it.
    | 
    | The fix was pressing alt+f4, escape, after which playing worked fine.
    | 
    | This behavior was unpredictable, 1.3.4 performed the effect fine perhaps 
    | 70-80% of the time.
    | 
    | 3. Good news: at one point I applied change tempo to the same audio at 
    | -80%. 
    | At some point I got an "error exception handling" message, a selection of 
    | three choices including to abort, which I clicked on. Repeated beeping 
    | ensued, pressing alt+f4 shut the beeping off and sound stopped. I thought 
    | I'd crashed the computer, but after a moment speech came back and 
    | announced I was on the desktop. Nice clean recovery without interrupting 
    | speech! :-)

My reaction again is that these are issues on a slow old Windows 98 machine. 
Were you able to enable DMA on the hard drive in the end?
