Graphical / sound indication that override is active ?

[Freddie]

The indication is indeed in the taskbar or in the application itself. Both of which I don't see during gameplay

Is that because you're playing in full-screen mode? What sort of indication do you want?

Sound: I already found that link, but sndrec32 does not exist in Vista anymore

You can copy sndrec32.exe from XP or use another sound program from the Web. If you want I'll post sndrec32 so you can download it.
