This is because 32-bit processes (Python, 32-bit cmd) cannot see the 64- bit DLLs in System32. > But: > {Ctrl-Z} in Python > then dir C:\Windows\System32\SoundRecorder.exe run OK Now you are running 64-bit Cmd. > Therefore, is the problem only in Python? Of course not (see above). Thorsten -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
