Pyro cannot start recording...

I've been using Pyro 2004 for years (actually since 2004) and never had a problem.  I am trying to record an audio file and out of the blue I get the following message after I hit the record button:  "Pyro cannot start recording.  Please make sure you have adequate disk space and have chosen a filename that is not in use."  Now, I know I have plenty of disk space available and Pyro tells me I have over 339 hours of time available.  I also know that the file name is both new and not in use.  I have tried reloading the software and still get the same error.  Can anyone help a brother out here?  What could be causing this problem.
 
Thanks.

    If you receive the error, "the disc is full or the file name is already in use." Then there are a few things to look for. First, illegal characters such as question marks, slashes, asterisks, etc.. Also excessively long file names can also cause this issue. Try to keep the names under 11 characters for a Data CD. Once you rename the files either outside or inside of Pyro, try ripping or burning them again.

    To ensure that other programs are not interfering with the operation of Cakewalk, do the following.

    click the Start button. Choose Run. Type msconfig in the Run box and
    click OK
    choose Selective Startup
    un-check Load Startup Group Items
    click OK and restart the computer

    If you get this error when recording an audio file, go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | Sounds and Audio. Make sure the default recording device is the correct one. This page will show you everything you need to know about recording and editing in Pyro:

    Hope that helps.

    Steve:

    Thanks so much for the help.  I lost a little hair, but did figure it out with your help.  It turns out that somehow the recording input got changed in my Windows recording control panel.  Once I changed it, everything worked fine.

    Thanks for getting back so quickly as well!
