 Last reviewed: May 12, 1997
Article ID: Q105239

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

The Windows NT Sound Recorder may become inoperable if you increase a wave file's (.WAV) speed too high by continuously selecting Increase Speed (by 100%) from the Effects menu, even after the values for position and length are set to 0.00 seconds. Once the speed is too high, all the buttons, such as Play and Stop, will be unavailable (dimmed) and Sound Recorder is inoperable.

RESOLUTION

To restore the Sound Recorder, quit and restart it. It is also possible to choose the Record button; however, the original wave file will still have to be reloaded.

NOTE: This problem also occurs in Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1 and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
