Editor replies: The answers to your queries are given in the same sequence as asked:
1. There are a number of freeware available on
2. You need to do a few adjustments with the sound of your microphone. You can do this by going to “edit” menu of Sound Recorder application.
3. To increase the maximum recording time in the Sound Recorder application, follow these steps: (i) put your microphone to mute so that it may not record any sound; (ii) Click Record, and then let Sound Recorder run for 60 seconds (which is default time); (iii) after the recording ends, save the file as “Blank.wav”; (iv) now to increase the maximum recording time in Sound Recorder, click Insert File on the Edit menu; and then (v) insert the “Blank.wav” file you just saved. Once done, the maximum recording time is increased by 60 seconds. You can repeat this step once for each additional minute of recording time that you want to add. For a 5-minute duration, insert the Blank.wav file five times.
If the problem still persists, then get hold of Cool Edit 2000 1.1, a good software that allows you to edit and record sound. It even provides feature of converting file from one format to another. This program is also available for download at www.download.com
Windows XP installation
I have Windows 98 operating system but I want to install windows XP. Do I have to format my hard disk and then install Windows XP or can I overwrite XP on Windows98.

Editor replies: Root directory is the top directory in a file system. It is provided by the operating system and has a special name; for example, in DOS systems the root directory is denoted by \. The root directory is sometimes referred to simply as the root.
It is always advisable to install later of Windows version in the end. Perhaps you might have installed Win98 first and then WinXP followed by Win2000 on D drive, this would definitely cause the NTLDR (the OS loading file) to go corrupt, and you may not find your operating systems working.
Now since you have removed your WinXP folder from D, which I believe you might have done manually by deleting it, the NTLDR file would still have the record of WinXP. So I’d suggest you take back up of your important data on some other partition and format your root/main partition and then reinstall the desired OS. If you wish to install multiple systems then make sure you start with Win98 on C drive and then install Win2000 on D drive and WinXP on E drive (if you have).
