- After Installation 
 

 

Issue – 

The Activity screen 
shows the channels 
as “Idle” even after I 
connect.

 

 

 

Possible Cause – 

UAC (User Account Control) is 
enabled. 

 

Solution – 

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, UAC cannot be 
enabled for VS Recorder to work. Disable UAC. 
 
Reboot the computer.

 

 

Issue – 

VS Recorder says 
that my “user ID is 
invalid”.

 

 

 

Possible Cause – 

UAC (User Account Control) is 
enabled. 

 

Solution – 

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, UAC cannot be 
enabled for VS Recorder to work. Disable UAC. 
 
Reboot the computer.

 

 

 

Issue – 

The CVRS service 
will not start.

 

 

 

Possible Cause – 

If this is a 64-bit computer and you 
selected the 64-bit drivers to 
install. 

 

Solution – 

VS Recorder is a 32-bit application so you must install 
the 32-bit drivers for the USB voice card. To resolve 
this, uninstall VS Recorder. 
 
Reboot the computer. 
 
Reinstall VS Recorder, this time selecting 32-bit drivers.

 

 

 

Issue – 

The Recorder 
disconnects the user 
as soon as the line 
answers.

 

 

 

Possible Cause – 

The voltage from the phone line 
may be dropping below the 
disconnect threshold. 

 

Solution – 

Stop the CVRS Recorder service. 
 
Open 

shconfig.ini

 located at 

C:\Program 

Files\VSRecorder

 
Find the line 

IsHangupDtrmVoltage=

 (you can use the 

search feature in Windows Notepad). 
 
The line entry probably is 

=12,12,12,12

. Change the 

12

 

to a lower voltage level, such as 

5

. The four numbers 

correspond to the first, second, third, and fourth 
channels respectively. If the channel subsequently has 
issues disconnecting when you hang-up, you could try 
raising this to something between 5 and 12. Typically, 
you should never need to enter a voltage lower than 5. 
 
So your line entry should look like: 

IsHangupDtrmVoltage=5,5,5,5 
 

Save the text file. Start the CVRS Recorder service or 
simply reboot the computer.
