Length of recording

I have a similar problem to Newbie about my recording stopping after a length of time. In my case it it 1 hour and 4 minutes. I am running WinXP sp2 and version 1.2.6. I have 30GB of hard drive space along with 1 GB of RAM but I still cannot get over this 66 minutes record length. I can import audio of who cares how long, so there is nothing wrong with Audacity with storing these long files but I cannot create one from scratch that will be, say 3 hours. Is there a setting I am missing? :cry:

If you have more than one hard drive, or more than one partition, make sure that the temporary files are being saved on the partition with plenty of space.
