Freecorder toolbar not recording

[topgun21]

I installed Freecorder toolbar and used it all day Saturday, it was so cool!!! :) I went back to us it today, and when I hit the record button, I get no waveform in the recording, and it saves an empty file. No settings have changed. I don't get it.

Any light you can share on this would be great.
I'm running Win XP pro, in IE 6, I get the same thing in FF2

Hmmm

I know this sounds simple, but try this for me please.

If you're having problems recording, try this:

Try pressing Record before you play audio.


Again, I know it sounds simple, but I've made that mistake myself and it was so easy, I laughed at myself for not figuring it out.

If that's NOT the issue, don't worry we'll still be here to help you, I just figured we'd start at the very beginning.

Oh, also, If you're playing audio from a Windows Media source and can't get a recording, here's what to check:

1. If the audio source is DRM Copy Protected, you won't be able to record it.
2. Make sure the Applian Audio Recorder Plug-in is selected and installed. Open Windows Media Player 11, and right click on the top area to open the menu. Go to Tools, Plug-Ins, and make sure the Applian Audio Recorder Plug-in is active, as shown here (this is for Windows Vista only):

Looking forward to your response. :)
