Hi Tim, Mark, and All:

There IS a way to use the built in Microsoft sound recorder for more than one minute. The process is a little cumbersome but it DOES WORK!!

Here are the steps to take:

1. Click "RECORD" and let Sound Recorder go for the full minute in silence.

2. In the FILE menu, click "SAVE AS" and name the file "Blank.wav"

3. Click "INSERT FILE" in the EDIT menu, and then insert the "Blank.wav" File.

4. Repeat Step 3 for as many times as you want in minutes that you want to record, then use "SAVE AS" , again as "Blank.wav"

5. When you want to use this extra time, just bring up Sound Recorder and open the Blank.wav file, and you can record for as much time in minutes as you repeated steps 3 and 4 above.

Hope this helps.
