Sound Recorder Error Message

[Guest David Smith]

I am having problems recording: custom-built desktop with Intel DG965WH

(version AAD41692-308; BIOS MQ96510J.86A.1987.2007.0258), 4GB RAM, WinXP

Pro, SP2, fully patched. System tab in Control Panel shows 3.24 GB

installed.

 

When I ran Sound Recorder and pressed the stop key after 5 seconds or so

of (attempted) recording, I got a message I have not seen before with

that program, "Not enough memory to complete this operation. Quit one or

more applications to increase available memory, and then try again.".

 

Task Manager reports a "Commit Charge of 312M of memory, out of 5201M.

The programs running are Skype 3.5 and Snagit 7, as well as a driver for

a VoIPphone running as a process.

 

The machine runs fine in general and I have had no other out of memory

messages. I was able to record with Audacity 1.24b but only with one

microphone input (rear); I cannot record at all with the front

microphone jack. The store that built the machine is getting a new cable

to connect the front jack to the motherboard, so my question is a

software question, not a hardware question (so far as I know).
