Hello there everyone, I've got an odd issue that I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to help with. Until relatively recently I've had the PRS software installed on my work laptop and it had been working fine. I am not sure what has now caused it to become a bit intermittent but it more often than not now will not launch. I am running Windows XP Professional, PRS version 2.02.01.20. and have a number of other programmes which use synthetic speech such as Kurzweil 1000, Jaws version 7.0. and Dolphin Producer and EaseReader. I am sometimes lucky and the system appears to work fine including the speech, but more often than not, it simply won't launch PRS at all. When I go to shut down the system, I get an error message saying the PRS is not responding. Has anyone else come across anything similar and do you have any ideas for fixes? Is it possible that any of the other software mentioned might be causing a clash with the synthesizers - I do put Jaws to sleep and unload the synthesizer when I launch PRS? Any ideas gratefully received.
