You turned down the wrong thing. If you turn down the recording volume in the Windows Control Panel it must make the recording level lower.

You need to put the kettle on again :) There are a lot of links on that page that all lead to important information regarding setting up Windows 7 (and Vista, which is almost as big a nightmare). I don't use Windows 7, but apparently it has a habit of setting the recording level really high. You nee...

With JPG's, a lossless image format, You mean "with JPGs, a lossy image format" That's a good analogy. You don't loose any quality in a JPG just from looking at it (otherwise the Internet would be very blurred by now), but if you decompress, then recompress a JPG you will loose a bit more...
