  Hi sotocountess,  

  Welcome to Microsoft Windows Vista Community site.

  
  Note: This is just a work around

  The sound recorder from Windows XP can be used in Vista. Copy the file sndrec32.exe and then save it to C:\Windows\System32. Create a Shortcut (suggest calling it Sound Recorder XP) and place the shortcut in your accessories folder. Now you can use either one.

  If you run the old version of Sound Recorder, you might need to run it with administrator privileges, as there are registry entries that must be allowed to be written.
  
  Check the reference link to troubleshoot sound recorder in vista:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-audio-recording-problems

  Let me know if this worked.
  Hope this is helpful. 

  Thanks and Regards,
