[muglo] Re: Corrupted Speechvoice in 10.3.8 Revisited

Thanks for the advice, Dave.

The iBook G3 was used when I bought it, so likely the corruption 
happened before I got it, as I had never used the Voices until the 
problem occurred.

Do you think if I just delete the Vicki speechvoice in the folder, it 
will cause any problems?  I'm really new to OS X, and don't relish 
the idea of doing a complete Archive and Install until I've had a bit 
more experience using the system.

However, if you really think it's necessary to Archive and Install, 
rather than what I'm suggesting, I'll do it.

Pls advise.  Thanks.

Leith
