Sndrec32.exe is NOT on the XP CD. SNDREC32.EX_ the compressed version of sndrec32.exe is on the CD. The underscore (_) means that the file is compressed. To be of any use the compressed file needs to be expanded. To expand it to the proper location... Open a Command Prompt... Start \| Run \| Type: cmd \| Click OK Insert your XP CD into your CD drive and enter (Copy and Paste) the following command: EXPAND -R D:\I386\SNDREC32.EX_ %windir%\system32\sndrec32.exe Hit your ENTER key. NOTE : Change D to = your CD drive letter if different than D:\ -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

I tried your suggesrtions. Five different answers from forums suggest exactly the same procedures. Here is the ERROR MESSAGE Can’t open input file: d:\ie386\sndrec32.exe Cannot expand a file onto itself: c\windows\system32\sndrec32.exe I have searched and searched for this file.
