Windows (XP) Recorder

I am having trouble recording through my sound card. I am trying to record my old cassetts into my computer. I can hear the music through the computer speakers but for some reason the computer does not hear it. It's like its going in and out of the sound card without ever going into the computer.

I have tried the window (XP) recorder but it will only let me record 60 seconds at a time.

I also downloaded a trial version of Pyro Cakewalk 1.5 without any success.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to either adjust recording time in the windows recorder or how to get Pyro to see the mic?

Closing double post.
