Synapse Client + Vista = error SndRec32.exe

Hi,

I'm new to Synapse. I've tried to install the Synapse Client on Vista and when it runs, it's giving an error message "Windows cannot find 'sndrec32.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

So what I tried to do was copy the "sndrec32.exe" from an XP pc and place it into C:\Windows\System32\. But itgives a blank error message. When I try to run sndrec32.exe, it gives me an error message "There was an error updating the registry". And all the buttons (forward, rewind, play, record...) are grayed out.

Anybody knows how to fix this?

And if I do fix this problem, is this wise? Since there might be other compatibility problem with Vista.

Or should I stick with XP?

Thanks

Here's an update the sndrec32.exe problem. Ran it as Administrator and it fixed the registry problem. The file has to be place into c:\windows\system32\

When synapse runs it gives another error "Cannot open c:\windows\speech.wav"

I will try to copy the speech.wav to this directory also.

I will you updated

Thanks

I've copied the speech.wav file into c:\windows and it fixed the problem.

Thanks Dr Chiu for your help

I turn all the windows sound off and turn the speaker volume very low to keep the office quiet. The only exception is my EMG machine since I need the sound for EMG signal. Now I have to warn the patient first before I open Synapse since this is really loud.

That worked, thanks

Pick an .exe file, rename it to sndrec32.exe and put it in the same folder as synapse.exe. I used twunk_32.exe in windows directory.
