Hi Mary: I have tinkered with the registry manually from time to time and never
been burned yet. This laptop is running 2000 pro. I've used regscrub on the
XP machine I have to good effect but don't know if it works on 2000 pro or not.
I went into the registry and deleted pointed references to SR. There were
perhaps twenty entries stating "open with studio recorder" but I didn't take
them out. I don't know why so many unless each beta upgrade adds this to
another part of the registry? I tried the program afterwards knowing that it
would not help as I had not yet re-booted. Sure enough the error was still
there. The machine re-booted OK, but hung up long before speech took hold. I
pressed the enter key and the boot process continued and completed. However,
studio recorder will still not run. Don't know what the error message was, of
course. Perhaps it was asking if I wanted to revert to a backup copy of the
registry? In any event, it's getting on to bed time and I've already put in my
twelve plus hours on this machine. Creating, among other things, a potcast on
my space. As it turned out, the last time I was able to use SR. Thanks for
your suggestion. We'll see what Rob has to say. The APH web site says that
the beta versions are only for three months, but this one has been installed
since at least October of 2005 with no problem. Gets curiouser and curiouser?
BTW--enjoyed the chime clock podcast. Will record it on cassette tape for a
clock enthusiast I know. She's just getting into computing with freedom box.
Only has dial-up at this point so of course, streaming audio won't work. yall
take care and thanks again.

Dick,
It probably puts some settings into the registry; you would need to enter the
registry with regedit and navigate to delete the keys related to SR. Not for
the computer novice, and only for the brave experienced user. If you mess up
something in your registry, there's no way to backtrack and fix it unless you
have a backed up registry; and once you change something and exit the registry,
you don't even get a confirmation message asking if you really want to make the
changes. If your registry gets corrupted in the process, it could potentially
damage Windows enough that you'd have to rebuild from scratch. Just a warning.
