Amazon had several refurbished XPs for sale about a month ago. I was tempted to get one, only because I love the XP Sound Recorder so much. Then other stuff happened that took my mind off of that for a while.

"Start up a Windows XP machine and locate the file sndrec32.exe; Copy that file to your Windows 10 machine and try to run it. Maybe you need to run it in compatibility mode."

Same with Windows 7, I'm presuming.

To run a program in compatibility mode, you right-click on the program in Windows Explorer, or on the icon if you put it on your desktop, for instance.

Select Properties from the resulting context menu.

There will be several tabs [General, Compatibility, Security, Details]. Select the Compatibility tab.

There will be options that you should be able to figure out. I did this with the 32-bit Spider card game program from XP.
