windows sound recorder

[weeo]

HI Paul
I need your help again.I've had a long running problem with recording sound on to my pc.I finally managed to get the volume control back,but i still can't record any sound.I have ticked all the boxes that need ticking etc. but,I've been advised that the windows sound recorder is missing.
Is there a way i can retrieve this?
I'd appreciate your thoughts or advice.
Thanks and regards
Eddie (weeo)

Hi, I've tried Audacity, Wavepad, and Nero.

windows sound recorder souldn't matter.

The problem is your selection of SOURCE.

HOW TO:

Open up VOLUME CONTROL > On the OPTIONS button (Top Left Corner) Select PROPERTIES
Then Select ADJUST VOLUME FOR RECORDING, tick all the boxes, Click OK and THEN select the selection box under STEREO MIX or LINE IN etc etc etc
