Hey, Steve,
No, I actualy had tried that befoer with a few extra steps that
actually deleted the potentially corrupted files befoer reinstalling
sapi 5 but i still get this error mesage:
begin quote
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
end quote
Thanks much and God Bless,
Doris
