Are you running 64-bit windows?

Can you send a screenshot of your registry key?

Is this what you mean?
OS is Win7 Pro 32 bit

Did you restart the recording service after making the change to the registry?

I restart my machine daily. Is this sufficient?

Isn't it supposed to be a REG_DWORD? Why not just delete it and use the default.

Good idea. I've deleted the key. I'll report back with the result. Thanks for your help.

Good spotting. I'm sure it'll be related to that.
