Sound Recorder Does Not Save As with a Default Extension

 * }

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS
You save a new file in Microsoft Windows Sound Recorder, but it doesn't appear in the Sound Recorder file list.

CAUSE
Sound Recorder doesn't automatically append its default extension (.WAV) when you save a file. If you don't specify the filename with extension, the file is saved without an extension and it isn't listed in the file list box when you open files from Sound Recorder. In addition, the file has no association to Sound Recorder.

WORKAROUND
If you save a recorded sound under a new name, you need to specify the full name, including the .WAV extension.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
