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. WHY!

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.

Thanks for the help. Mike
