It could be corrupted file. Try downloading one file at a time through My Computer. After you have exhausted all possibilities, format the recorder through the recorder (not the computer) and your memory should be fine

Unfortunately that is not possible with this recorder to be able to replay a part of a recording and record over it. If you pause it will just allow you to continue from the point where the device was stopped. You might want to check out the DS-2300 or the DS-2400 model recorders as those devices have the ability to do what you are asking.

Before using your new recorder, read this manual carefully to ensure that you know how to operate it safely and correctly. Keep this manual in an easily accessible location for future reference.
 

it is compatible with vista 64bit

Question edited for a lot more clarity. Question moved from Olympus Camera category. Olympus seems to think it doesn't exist. https://cs.olympus-imaging.jp/en/support/imsg/vtrek/download/manual/ But I see it on Amazon, unless they are Chinese clone copies. The model numbering of 'S-number', doesn't match apart from the 'W-20'. Write to Olympus and ask. https://www.google.com/search?q=olympus+s924+manual ..

It doesn't look like they ever had them. The Firmware link goes to software and there is no Software link.. https://learnandsupport.getolympus.com/support/ws-331m-digital-voice-recorder#section-download-software It is dangerous getting firmware from anyone other than the manufacturer. https://learnandsupport.getolympus.com/support/ws-331m-digital-voice-recorder#section-download-software ..

It sounds like the water damage may have caused the down volume button to malfunction. While it may be possible to fix the button, it would require opening up the device and performing some troubleshooting, which can be difficult if you don't have experience with electronics. I would recommend taking the recorder to a professional repair shop or contacting Olympus customer support to see if they can assist you with repairs. If the device is still under warranty, they may even be able to provide a replacement.

I don't see a current driver for it at this driver guide site. https://www.driverguide.com/driver/download/Olympus-Digital-Voice-Recorder You may try to see if the manufacturer has one. I provide a link to the manufacturer at the bottom; you have to drill down to a chat opportunity from there. I think you are going to have to run the pertinent software in compatibility mode, probably for XP or Windows 7. You could try running the XP driver on an XP machine if you have one collecting dust. That is, if the driver exists in the links at the old posts below. This recorder has been around from at least 2009. Alternatively, you can try the Olympus chat to inquire if a current driver might work on it. I'm under the impression that installation of any driver for the device is a little tricky at the best of times. Here is an old Fixya page from 2009 that hints at such: https://www.fixya.com/support/t2505481-failure_install_olympus_vn_600pc https://www.fixya.com/support/t16043814-need_driver_digital_voice_recorder_vn https://om-digitalsolutions.com/en/directory/americas.html

Send it in for service. Details on the last page. https://www.gov.nl.ca/education/files/k12_evaluation_vn-7200.pdf ..

not if Olympus or a dealer of them can not get you one

Purchase a new one. They are inexpensive and liquid damage is sometimes not repairable.

It could be full. try clearing some space.

I suggest you attempt to reset the device which should bring back default settings. If you wish to do a reset, go to Device Menu, go to Reset Settings, click + to select start then click OK.
