Anger at MS for diminishing Sound Recorder program

You left out the fact that you can't save to .wav format, just .wma....

I read somewhere that the functions were scaled back, because they are
available in other Windows programs...

For instance, you can load an audio file into Movie Maker and edit it.

I want to go back to XP. But MS won't allow it. All new computers
come with vista. So, I can't go back to XP.

XP was a good system. There was no reason to make Vista. Vista is not
a better system.

It is just a rehashed XP.

Check with your computer manufacturer. You may be able to downgrade... many
offer that option, like Lenovo. The CDs are about $50 but it's a complete XP
installation with drivers etc.

true i agree it is cheap program, but i did a search on the web and found
one unfortunatly no cheap but i found a way that might be annoying but i can
use it for free as long as i want. it's called WavePad from NCH Swift Sound
it's about 49.00 to buy it, but it's real nice it's a professionnal sound
editor, it does everything like cross over, if you are like me a DJ this is
a wanderfull product, i wish i could tell you the way i can use it for free,
i don't mind telling you guys but i would hate to have this little bug get
back to the developpers of the software and find a way to prevent it. if you
e-mail me directly i might tell you. but i will ask proof that you have that
program installed.
if this is too much for you as a program, just search out there i found a
lot of free sound editor that don't depend on microsoft little hand to move
the puppet. in another words independent programs

I saw a post the other day that stated that you could copy the XP
sndrec32.exe file over to Vista and use it.... I haven't tried it.
