It's possible then, that WXP allows you to change the creation date & time associated with a file but that W7 does not, at least using the same method. When you copy the file to your W7 system though, it seems to be setting the creation date & time to the current time - that is, the date & time when the file was copied, instead of copying the file metadata along with the file data. The minidisk recorder is most likely setting the creation date & time, as I doubt it allows you to edit recorded data in place (so there's unlikely to be a modification date & time associated with the file while it's on the MD recorder).

what you need to find out is what particular date & time is being set on the minidisk recorder, which date & time value is used by your WxToImg or Satsignal software and which date & time is being changed when you try to change it in W7 - that is, you need to find whether it's the creation date & time, the last modification date & time or the last accessed date & time (I'd guess it's the creation date & time).

I realise that the the sound card problem is probably insoluble but this can be got over by transferring the files to a USB memory device with windows 7 and then accessing this same device with the virtual XP and modifying the date/time there in before displaying them.
I realise this is a bit of an un-problem as I could leave the computer running continuously and record the pictures a they come in but I would like to be able to play recorded pictures without having to revert to an obsolescent OS. I cannot do this with Windows 7 when I change the time/date of the file this is ignored and the file retains the date/time when the file is loaded from the Minidisk. If I load this into the computer running XP I can change the time stamped on the file to the correct time of the pass so that when it is displayed with WxToImg or Satsignal a map is overlayed on the picture showing the boundaries of the countries (useful when cloud cover is extensive). The effect of the date stamping is as follows, I have a receiver for weather satellite pictures that automatically switches on the Minidisk recorder and saves a copy of the pass as an audio file. There may already be some sound card functionality, such as playing sounds, via such a virtual sound card interface but I believe that for this application you're using the sound card Analogue-to-Digital converter (ADC) hardware at a low level and that might be why the problem arises - the virtual sound card interface, if any, may not support the low-level ADC calls being made by the Windows XP application. What you would need is for the hosting system to present a virtual sound card interface to be used by a Windows XP virtual sound card driver.

Your sound card issue is going to be difficult to solve - the Windows XP sound card driver is expecting to own the sound card and have exclusive access to it but it can't do this as a hosted system running in a virtual machine because the hosting system will own it. At the same time, I wouldn't expect the OS to routinely append the time & date to files as it would make them unusable to most applications. I must have missed your earlier post about the Windows 7 time and date problem with these files - what exactly is the problem? Does Windows 7 appear to be appending the time and date as part of the filename? Depending upon the filesystem being used, things like the creation time & date, the time & date last accessed and the time and date last modified are routinely recorded for every file, but I can't see how this would be a problem as Windows 7 shouldn't be doing this any differently to Windows XP - it's a characteristic of the filesystem, not the OS.
