i cannot find Sound Recorder, can anyone help?
Goto the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
Select Add/Remove Windows Components.
Now Select Accessories & Utilities > Details.
Multimedia > Details.
You should now have the option to install/uninstall Sound Recorder from your
Windows setup.
If the box is checked then uncheck it, click OK etc to close the wizard then
start the wizard again and check the box - Windows should then re-install
it.
(You may need your Windows XP CD-ROM).
If the Sound Recorder option is not present in the Multimedia compnents then
you'll need to perform a simple edit on a Windows file....

'Removing Extraneous Windows Components'
This tweak allows you to have more flexibility when enabling/disabling
Windows components, allowing you to remove the games, as well as other parts
of the OS that the installer generally doesn't allow you to mess with. To
perform the tweak, you need to open the sysoc.inf file (found in the
winnt/inf folder) in notepad. Within the file, there are several HIDE
commands - delete the word HIDE (but be careful to preserve the commas)
everywhere it appears and save the file. You should now have several more
options when adding and removing components through the add/remove programs
applet in the control panel.

If you make the tweak then goto Add/Remove Windows Components you'll have
the options to reinstall/fix missing components.
