Today I used my personal PC in my house to create one simple automated test. Unluckily, the recorder bar didn’t show up. My PC environment is as follows:
Windows XP SP3, IE 7, VSTS 2008 SP1.
I finally found that my Microsoft Web Test Recorder was disabled. Only what I needed to do was launch IE 7, go to Internet Options/Programs/Manage Add-ons and enable Microsoft Web Test Recorder.

Strange..I have the same PC environment:
Windows XP SP3, IE 7, VSTS 2008 SP1.
and my Microsoft Web Test Recorder was enabled from the start - I never had the need to do anything special..to enable it..
Erik,
I don't have to enable anything in my company PC . In my personal PC, I need to enable it. I don't know why.
But I helped my coworker's PC enable this one. It worked.
Strange, I have enabled the Web Test Recorder, but the VSTS does not recording my tests.
Environment: Windows 7, IE 8, VSTS 2008 SP1
Your environment is different from mine. You use Windows 7 and IE8(RC1 or RC).
I believe some components are disabled even if you enabled the Web Test Recorder.
Environment: XP sp3, IE8, VSTS 2008, Web Test Recorder addon enabled
The addon is enabled but I'm still having trouble seeing the recorder bar consistently. I've tried on different days and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I even changed the starting URL as per (http://blogs.msdn.com/mtaute/archive/2007/11/09/diagnosing-and-fixing-web-test-recorder-bar-issues.aspx). Any thoughts?
Did you install VSTS 2008 SP1?
This may be a dumb question, but does the Visual Studio SP1 do the trick or is there a SP1 specifically for VSTS version?
Can you check your VSTS 2008 version? If you don't install SP1, just install it. SP1 covers so many bug fixes.
