windows vista: sound recorder

I have windows vista home basic, installed on my laptop and I am having a
problem with the sound recorder. Everytime I open it up, a window pops up
saying, "Windows Sound Recorder is not installed properly. Run REGSVR32
WavDest.Dll." How do i go about fixing this problem?

Re: windows vista: sound recorder

so i basically entered in the search field when u open up the start button or
th windows icon on windows vista in the bottom left-hand corner, enter the
command and a window opened up saying "The module "WavDest.Dll." was loaded
but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. For more
information about this problem, search online using the error code as a
search term." So basically i either cannot run it or i don't know what i am
doing.

Re: windows vista: sound recorder

all it shows is the microphone-as the recording device. there is no line-in.
and the computer sound, there is no "What-U-Hear" (Creative) or "Stereo Mix"
(Realtek), or anything similar to that.
