edition Compaq notebook.

The file Sndrec32.exe is on the notebook though, in the
System32 sub directory. But the volume control program,
Sndvol32.exe, is missing. I copied the volume file over to
the notebook and it seems to be working okay.

Did Compaq fail to give me a complete system, or is the
sound recorder just not supported by the home edition? I
thought that the sound recorder was available on all the
windows versions. I know I had it on 98 and I believe I had
it on 95. I can't find any mention of sound recorder in the
index of my reference WP book.

Likely a mistake on your system or Compaq's installation.
