I am also getting an alert

I am also getting an alert from Avast when I download either the .exe or the .zip. It says a file named DgG1FWGX.exe contains a Win32:Malware-gen. It says the size of the file is 1159737. Is this possible? Does the download include a file by this name? Thanks in advance!

There is no such file in

There is no such file in archive. For the sake of clarity I've just repacked zip archive with program files without selfextracting archive in it. Please try now. Unzip to any folder and run the recorder from it.

Installed without issue. On

Installed without issue. On first install, brought up the screen to configure folder for files, recording settings, etc. Can't bring that up any longer. The program is running minimized to the taskbar. When trying to open it, the window shows in the taskbar but the program doesnt show anywhere onscreen.

Have deleted the folder and reinstalled with no luck of geting the settings screen to showup. Tried a reboot in case it was something incompatible running.

Probably it is shown

Probably it is shown outside of working area

Please try to delete the following fileC:\Users\Gill\AppData\Local\Alexander_Nikiforov\MP3_Skype_Recorder.exe_Url_{something}\{version number}\user.config.
The program will create a new healthy one on the next launch.
Please note that part of the path are hidden folders. Make sure you can see them.
- go to Control Panel->Folder options-> View
- check Show hidden files,folders or drives
- click OK to save settings

I see somebody else has tried

I see somebody else has tried this as well. I have deleted this release as well as the previous release. When i install the new RC clean, I receive the same.. it never comes up with the configuration window. Not sure what the issue is but will wait for a new release.

I lost the bulk of my call!

I lost the bulk of my call! It only records 30 minutes. I've tried for a week now to get 3 podcast episodes done and they are unusable. My calls are usually over an hour. If there is a limit on the new version when the old version doesn't have one, that should be in the bullet points! I still had to click the OFF button to stop the recording after 2 hours so where did all that data go? It said recording well after 30 minutes. I've already inconvenienced the person I was interviewing more than once. This is unacceptable.

I am a huge fan of this app.

I am a huge fan of this app. It's been a lifesaver for note taking on conference calls. I am in the process of evaluating the new 4.0 RC. I have not yet upgraded Skype beyond 6.10.0.104 because I was concerned with losing MP3 Recorder 3.1x capability. I ran some tests on calls with both the 3.1x and 4.0 RC making recordings of the same exact call. I have set the sample rate and bitrate to the exact same settings for both recorders. The 3.1x recordings are noticeably clearer and sound much better on playback. There is a level of static and poor quality on the version 4.0 RC recordings. The call quality is the MOST important aspect to me and until this is resolved I will not upgrade Skype and lose MP3 Skype Recorder 3.1x.

Additionally, I cannot access the 4.0 RC settings again after the first time. I have tried deleting the file listed below:

C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\MP3_Skype_Recorder\MP3SkypeRecorder.exe_Url_j13phnozgetjx4xpxrwehzsr4mtsucma\4.0.0.0\user.config

But this does not solve that issue.
