Is the sound recorder supported by XP home edition? Jackson <jacXkdinsss[ at ]hotXmail.com> 12/2/2008 2:48:57 AM In my XP media center edition on my Dell desktop the sound recorder is available through Start > Programs > Accessories [Quoted Text] > Entertainment but this folder is empty on my XP home edition Compaq notebook. The file Sndrec32.exe is on the notebook though, in the System32 sub directory. But the volume control program, Sndvol32.exe, is missing. I copied the volume file over to the notebook and it seems to be working okay. Did Compaq fail to give me a complete system, or is the sound recorder just not supported by the home edition? I thought that the sound recorder was available on all the windows versions. I know I had it on 98 and I believe I had it on 95. I can't find any mention of sound recorder in the index of my reference WP book. Jack from Taxacola (formerly Pensacola), FL

Likely a mistake on your system or Compaq's installation. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
