Tom and Danielle, I see there are a number of responses to this thread so hopefully this is not redundant. I just wanted to suggest the possibility of using simple MP3 maker as a possible solution to the driver conflict. It is a program that is free and does not install its own driver so you might be able to have it coexist with scipe without a problem. I seem to remember others reporting a problem like the one you had, and found that I had to reconfigure Winamp or Total Recorder whenever I wanted to get into or out of a chat program. This was a couple of months ago when I was involved in an online class, so I can relate to your frustration, especially since for me, at least, everything was working fine until I somehow changed something that messed things up for me.
For whatever it's worth, I wonder if your problems with TR have to do with the OS you are running. I get the feeling it works better with XP, but Tom and I have been emailing back and forth about our mutual problems with it ... I still have 98 and he's running Millennium. Anyway, I don't immediately have the url for Simple MP3 Maker, but others may or I'm sure you'll find it with a Google search. It is a no frills recording program, by which I mean that I have not found ways to append to a file or to schedule recordings for times when you are away from the computer, but that doesn't mean these things can't be done if you are creative. Also, like most other recording programs, it will pick up your screenreader along with anything coming through your sound card unless you have an external synthe or two sound cards, but even with these limitations it might be worth a try for you. Hope this helps.
