Lorriane,

Have you tried clicking the systray icon for your sound card and see what
your record source is set to?

Thanks Bill. I did that, and got the shortcut in the menu, but my tape
deck
still isn't being "heard".

I don't know how much help this will be, but I believe the sound recorder
file is located here: \windows\system32\sndrec32.exe. You could create
a shortcut to it there, and then move the shortcut into the Accessories
Menu, and perhaps get Sound Recorder back again that way (assuming that
sndrec32.exe file is still on your HD, which I bet it is).

I'm trying to transfer cassette tape files to my computer so I can

to CDs.

I'm running XP Pro SP2 (OEM), and have built in 7.1 channel HD audio
built
into the ASUS motherboard (custom built computer). When I go to start>
all
programs> accessories> entertainment, the only thing listed is Windows
Media
Player. There is no sound recorder as there was on my old computer.

I tried to install it by clicking on "Add/remove Windows Components",
but
there was no "Entertainment Category". It didn't matter whether I did
this
from the control panel or from the Windows install screen from the OEM
disc.
I tried reinstalling the "Accessories and Utilities" but that didn't
help -
still no sound recorder.

I also checked the OEM disc from my old computer (which my hubby has)
and it
didn't have the "entertainment" category either, but the sound recorder
is
shown in the all programs> accessories> entertainment category. I'm
pretty
sure it was always there, meaning I didn't install it later.

I checked the line in on the back of the computer by creating a loop and
it
is active and working properly.

I'm wondering if this could be a problem arising from a Windows Update?
I
tried my old computer and it now doesn't recognize the line in or the
tape
deck. It was fine when I first did this, but I only got a few of my
tapes
transferred. Not sure when it stopped working though.

Can anyone please help me to fix this?
