Hi

I want to record my voice conversation into my IBM Laptop running on
Windows XP.

It is about 1 hour in duration.

It seems that I can't use the "sound recorder", as it is 60 seconds
maximum.

Any pre-installed software with Windows XP that i can use freely?

Or, any good freeware to download?

Thanks.

cheers:)

Nothing within XP but there are many free sound recorders on
the internet. Many like Audacity from
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

For others do a Google search "sound recorder" free

There are ways of "tricking" it if your situation can put
up with that kind of intrigue.

Audacity is a frequently-recommended free application.
But frankly, it is counter-intuitive and fiddly even to users
with long experience recording on computers. But you
can't beat the price if you can put up with it.

OTOH, I think that TotalRecorder is much more user-
friendly and at $18 is nearly "free". Check it out free...

Total recorder, especially when you add in the mp3 aspect, is my "go to"
for simple recording or transfers to computer. You can also record off
the web, audio only, if you want -- but only if permission is granted,
of course.

Been using it for about 6 years, trouble free.

Use Sound Recorder. You just have to give it a template file the
required length to record into. The default one is 60s.

What you do is record and save a 1 minute file, repeatedly insert the
file at the end until the total length is as long as you need, then
re-record over the entire file.

Some other applications include a usable WAV recorder. Nero has its
Wave Editor. Exact Audio Copy has one. CDEx has one.

The original poster may already have an alternative to Windows Sound
Recorder and may not know it.
