Audio won't save on laptop

For the last couple of weeks, I've been recording audio using a USB mic + Captivate 2017 on my laptop. It's worked great until the end of last week, when the "Save" button disappeared from the record screen. I've restarted my computer, gotten updates, and waited, and it still hasn't come back. When I use my desktop computer + monitor, it works just fine. Now I can't record because there's no way to save. I just have to close out Captivate using the Windows Task Manager. Any ideas/suggestions? I really need to use the laptop because of my office situation. (screen shot of the situation is below) Thank you!

Did you try to clean the Preferences? You need to have Administrator rights. Close Captivate. Look for the subfolder 'utils' in the installation folder and run the CleanPreferences... file appropriate for your OS. You may also think about clearing the cache, which can be done with a button in the Preferences, General Settings.
