Hi Barry,
To fix this, you will need your Windows XP CD. So, CD in drive, do the
following:-
1.. Go to Run, and type "c:\windows\inf" without the quotes.
2.. Look for a file called SAPI5.INF.
3.. Press Applications key and then arrow down to Install
4.. If it asks for any files, brows to d:\i386, where d: is assumed to be
your Windows XP CD.
Job done.
All the best
Steve

Folks,
Here's a new one.
I can't change the default TTS Engine under control panel/speech.
I can preview the voices but when I hit apply it comes up with, "RUNDLL
An exception occurred while trying to run
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\sapi.cpl",Speech"
OK "
I downloaded and ran SAPI4's suite from,
http://www.o2a.com/SpeechDownload.htm
and it installed, "Microsoft Speech SDK 4.0 and engines
Microsoft Voice, Microsoft Dictation, and the Microsoft Speech SDKOK "
Convinced this would fix it.... It did not.
Furthermore when I launch the Speech Applet I get,
"Speech Properties
The requested task cannot be carried out because the necessary engine could
not be created. Please select a
different engine and/or a different audio device.
OK "
I've SP3 on the machine but had these problems with SP2 as well. I was
actually hoping there would be a Hot Fix in SP3 that would have fixed it.
Any suggestions?
Dj Paddy
