There is a program in my computer called "Sound Recorder" (Accessories, Entertainment, sound recorder).
Hi, thanks, I have checked it out and after double clicking the "Entertainment" folder I only get two icons. One for Real Player, and one for Windows Media Player. Sound Recorder is not in there...
So you're saying it was there but has disappeared?
If you somehow deleted the icon, you can uninstall/re-install, or just make a new one:
Click
Start | Run and type
%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Entertainment
Right click in the folder that appears, point to New, then click Shortcut
In the shortcut wizard enter
%SystemRoot%\system32\sndrec32.exe (or browse to it) on the first screen, then
Sound Recorder on the second screen for the name.
If the program has disappeared, you can re-install it from
Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components
Highlight
Accessories and Utilities click
Details
Highlight
Multimedia click
Details
You first have to unhide the Multimedia category:
Start | Run type
%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf press enter
Search through the file to find this line:
MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,HIDE,7
and delete the work HIDE leaving the commas so it looks like this:
MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,,7
Close Notepad and say yes to save the file. You'll now have the Multimedia group with Media Player, Sound Recorder and Volume Control.
Or you can opt for any one of the free recorder/editors that are out there.
HTH
