I have a message on my answering machine. I would like to save it to
an mp3 or wav.
Can this be done with anything included in XP?

I do have a mic and it works with Yahoo messenger.

In Help and Support, enter "Using Sound Recorder" in the Search
box.

Good luck

If your Mic already works you should be good to go.

I just tried this and it works. Thanks

Now, how can I make a recording more than 60 seconds?

I don't see this in the help file.
 
That takes a bit of work on your part

(This works for all versions of windows)

Now if you want something easier to work with that's third party, you
might look at Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

That is awfully complicated just to record an answering machine
message. I had one answering machine message I was trying to record
that was a little under 2 min.

I found out that if you press record again that 60 seconds will be
added to the clock. Because that left a skip in the middle I also
found that I could just rerecord over the file that was now 120 seconds
long.

It took me about 10 min of play time to record a 2 min message. It
also took about 30 mins to figure out the combination.

I love Windoze.

Use a hand held tape recorder.

Windows can do many things but not everything. There are some
superb third-party sound recorders out there, and I suspect that
the companies making them would be more than a little upset if
Microsoft included one in Windows, free of charge.

Instead of spending 30 minutes of your paid time, you might have
downloaded Audacity, as suggested by Pennywise. It's a nice
little recorder and it's free!
