Sound Recorder And Won't Recognize MP3 Code Programs
Jul 29, 2009
I like MS but hate it when they screw around with a good program. Sound Recorder in Pre-Vista Windows was a simple but useful program. Sound Recorder in Vista is a severly crippled version that only records in one format without being able to select other compression formats.
I copied Sound Recorder from XP (renamed it Sound Recorder XP) and copied it to my Vista machine. It works but only has the "stock" compression options. I installed l3codeca.acm (Mpeg Layer3) and placed it in my System32 folder but it still doesn't show up as an option in Sound Recorder XP.
How can I get the Mpeg Layer3 option to show up as an option in Sound Recorder XP on Vista? Can I even do this? I remeber seeing something about MS changing something in Vista so it won't recognize MP3 code programs.
I have windows vista home basic, installed on my laptop and I am having a problem with the sound recorder. Everytime I open it up, a window pops up saying, "Windows Sound Recorder is not installed properly. Run REGSVR32 WavDest.Dll." How do i go about fixing this problem?
I need MPEG Layer-3!I’ve installed my old XP Sound Recorder into my new (Vista) computer. It works… but lacks the MPEG Layer-3 Format I need for compressing WAVs.In his earlier reply to me at http://www.vistax64.com/sound-audio/189750-vista-vs-xp-sound-recorder.html , sanantonio007 says he can now access MPEG Layer-3 in XP Sound Recorder after following Brady Lee’s instructions here: This Missing CODEC thing is making me crazy Lee’s instructions say that the “missing” codec problem is due to a Windows/System 32 file that should read l3codecp.acm instead of l3codeca.acm. Lee goes on to describe a regedit modification to change the l3codeca.acm file to l3codecp.acm.
However, I already have a l3codecp.acm file in Windows/System 32 (as well as the “erroneous” l3codeca.acm.) So that doesn’t look like my solution. Someone else told me that if I downloaded the MPEG Layer-3 codec from a dbpoweramp music converter link, it would install itself everywhere - & my XP Sound Recorder would be back up and running. Has anyone tried that? Does anyone know if (or where) I could get just the dbpoweramp MPEG Layer-3 codec, & not lots of other stuff I don’t need or want? Better yet… does anyone have a simpler solution? All I want is to run my old XP Sound Recorder in Vista – WITH the MPEG Layer-3 Format WAV compression format,
I do not want to see any of the programs at the top of the list of All Programs (especially Internet Explorer). I just want to see the program folders listed, preferably sorted by newest or most recently modified first, by alphabetically would be OK. How to get rid of the 8 programs shown in here? Thanks.
I keep getting a yellow exclamation point on windows start navigation sound I can go in and select it and it works for the time it is selected. but as soon as I reboot the yellow exclamation point comes back how do I fix this can someone help me please it annoying and aggravating to have to turn that on all the time. I even did a system restore back to yesterday thinking I did something to it no go still dose it. nothing else broken all works good sound everything just not this one.
This worked for me before but I messed it up. I used to be able to record the sound coming from my computer and play it to my microphone right away as it goes. Meaning when I record something, it would record whatever is playing on the computer. But I forgot how to make that setting.
Ive been having a few problems with uninstalling some programs via the add/remove programs tool. For example I have been trying to uninstall Itunes and everytime I do Windows installer says it is preparing to remove and then it stops and a window come up that says "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." and then another one says I do not have sufficient access to uninstall Itunes and to please contact system administrator.
So I spoke to a friend how recommended this forum subject and I followed the Take Ownership steps a few times but to no avail it still does the same thing. I can't update Itunes untill this one is uninstalled!!!!!
I use Vista 32 Ultimate and I have this problem during the startup of Windows: The UAC control stops 2 programs and I'm not able to let these programs load with UAC control active. Tried everything also in Windows defender but no success. I must always confirm and let run these programs clicking on the UAC block tray icon that appear during the load of these 2 programs. Someone tell me that these programs blocked by UAC must be updated from the developers to pass the UAC.
I just upgraded to Vista U x64 and am having sound problems. I have a prelude x-fi sound card but the sound coming out of it is extremely low. I have maxed out every thing I can max (control panel sound, creative panel) and the sound level is whisper quiet. I have also upgraded all my drivers except the prelude's, I would but their website isn't offering those drivers at the moment. But the drivers supplied with the card are vista certified so I should get something. But my mobo, etc is all updated. I have been searching for a solution for two days to no avail.
when i go to start, all programs, all my folders/programs show up, but then i noticed that theres a "programs" folder within the list, and when i click that, it shows all the same folders/programs that are in the "all programs" list. but then some of the folders within the ones in the 'all programs" list, they are empty, but they show up in the programs folder in the list. i dont know how this happened and i just wanted to know how to fix this issue.
This morning, I started my computer, logged on and went on the Start Menu to access Microsoft Office programs. But when I went on the 'All Programs' menu, there were no programs listed! I really mean NO PROGRAMS AT ALL. This includes Microsoft Office folder and every other software and program i have got!.
I just got my new computer with Vista Home Premium x64, from Windows Professional XP. Installed programs are not showing up at Start/All Programs. Some are in directory C: Programs or Program Files (x86) and still dont't show up.
I an unable to have SP1 intall on my computer. When I run Windows Update, it begins the download, then fails after a few minutes, then gives me the "click here for help" After clicking (obviously ) there are 5 things MS has you do. I tried all 5 and my computer passed, but SP1 still will not install.
Thinking that maybe Updater was being mean, I dowloaded the stand alone update. When I run that it installs to 50%, then hangs and requires it to be manually cancelled.
The only error I get is "Code 800736B3" which seems to only refer to Dreamscene, and not SP1. That or my google-fu is weak.
I am wondering if there is any possible way of retrieving the activation code, currently in the process of creating a Vista Home Basic DVD with SP1 intergrated into it, currently have same activated and legit on system. I relise that you can call or even activate it over the internet, but this is anoying everytime I install a fresh copy of the OS. I am creating my own personal edition of vista that contains SP1 and Programs I enjoy using.
I want to re-install Vista x64 Home Premium but I can't find a code at home for installing, I'm not sure if I even had a code as the 64bit upgrade DVD looks to be a special offer (friends complain I got it very cheap, quick off the mark I tell them)
I purchased 32bit Vista early after its release and then sent off to Ireland for the Vista x64 DVD, cost around ?10, I saw the offer in the 32bit box. I'm having some problems so wanting to reinstall 64bit Vista but for the life of me I can't remember whether I need a code to re-install Vista x64 from just the 64bit DVD, or whether I need to install the 32bit version first and then the 64bit upgrade goes in without needing another install code
Bought and installed WEB EASY 7. Ran fine no problems. Shut down system and when I started up later and executed WEB Easy it said that it could not fine the serial code. Put the serial code in again and it ran fine, until the next shutdown and restart. Worked about 6 weeks with WEB EASY (Avanquest) to resolve and they could not. Their final fix was to format the disc and install a clean Vista with all updates.
I have not problem with any other software that I have purchased. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WEB EASY from my account with Admin Priv as well as Installed with the "Hidden Administrator" logon. Avanquest has of course said it is Microsofts problem and hung up. Apparently when I do an initial install and enter the serial code as requested it puts it in the worng place or somewhere that later users, including the Administrator, does not have access to; or the prgrram itself is locked out of.
Microsoft says I need some updates to Silverlight. I can't use the updates (error code 64C), I can't uninstall or Install it (the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.) What should I do?

Im using vista 32-bit home. When i try doing the updates i get the following error code:- Code 80244019
whenever if run the game through "startup" a prompt comes up saying "You cannot run the game with modified executable code ...Re-install the game" . I installed the game again but it behaves the same... how can i run the game...??? OS used: Vista 32 bit.
Is there any way I can get Vista to not recognize a gigabyte of RAM? I'm having trouble with a game and I hear that to fix it you can't have more than 3 GB of RAM, and I have 2 2GB sticks of RAM and I don't want to run my system on 2GB.
I had sp1 installed, installed a new video card(Gigabyte 8800GT nforce edition if that helps), had to reinstall the OS before the system would recognize the card. After reboot, I ran update and got a bunch of updates. A few days later, update listed sp1 under automatic updates. i ran the update and got this error:
Code 80070002
I've gotten this error before on another machine and it was pretty easily fixed by deleting a few folders(as per the instructions in the Help guide). This time, it isn't working. I've tried the steps listed at least a Dozen times, I've downloaded the stand-alone update, combined the error fix with a restart, and I always get the same error. Now, my computer is constantly telling me to install the update, but it won't let me. I really don't want to have to reinstall again.
I have a laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have tried 4 times to update to the Vista SP 1. All 4 times the install has failed with an error code of 80041315.
The CD Rom drive passed out of existence from My Computer, with Vista Home Premium 32-Bit operating system installed in a emachines desktop PC. The error code is: This device cannot start. (Code 10).

I've a problem with my on-board SoundMax 1988B (SupremeFxII) in bundle with MB Asus P5E. In Vista64 Ultimate all SoundMax's drivers found (also ASUS_BlackHawk_v30) don't working (error code 10) instead Microsoft's drivers WORKING BUT the microphone don't working. In XP-32bit microphone working ONLY the first time after a clean installation of drivers and software SoundMax, launch Skype and the MIC don't working definitively. Microphone is setting correctly like RECORDING DEVICES but it's "death".
I had a problem with my Vista so i had to reinstall it. After i reinstalled it I had to enter my activation code. I did that (i think). I tried the voice automated system and it didn't work. This is what i entered.
I keep being told by Windows Vista 32bit Family edition that there isn't enough space to back up my data (I'm using the Vista standfard backup scheduler) error code 0x80070070. But I'm backing up C: to a 1.5tera external disk which is almost empty. Disk C is a 320gig disk with 23 gig still free. So what could be the problem? I am sure that the external disk has over 1 terabyte free.
