I'm a little late in catching up on the forum, but I didn't see an answer to your question, so I will add my two cents worth. If you don't have the audio recorder that came with your new KN, maybe Bill Norrie has a copy on his website you can download, but it works just fine with Vista. I've used it many times with the USB cord and Roxio and it couldn't be easier. No problems. Try it - you'll like it!
