I am trying to use the xp sound recorder with no success. I click on the
record red button, then, when I click on the stop button I get "Not enough
memory available......" It is hard to believe I have 3gig ram. Yet, there
is no other application running. I can't rerecord. I must close the
application and reopen. Is there a solution to this?

Thanks you
Daniel

How long of a sound bite are you recording? It does this even if you record a few seconds of sound? First thing I would try it to fire up task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL), go to the PERFORMANCE tab and then fire up your sound recorder and try to record something, do you see the memory jump up when that happens? I wonder if there is an update to your soundcard available from it's manufacturer that resolves this? Could be a bug in the driver for your sound card? If you open up control panel, goto "Sounds and Audio Devices" then open up the AUDIO tab, what does it say is the "Default Device" under recording?

"Computers fitted with more than 2GB of physical memory will return an
error message saying there is not enough memory. This is a design fault
with Sound Recorder and cannot be solved other than by reducing the
amount of physical memory."
