Over the past few days I have had problems booting up this computer and late last night when I switched it on, itrefused to boot up at all. I had someone here today with sight and somehow he managed to get things working. I use window-eyes as my preferred screen reader with ibm via voice as my preferred speech synthasiser. I was informed that window-eyes had started but it wasn't speaking. I switched to fredom box system access which opened up using dechtalk access 32 even though I had set it previously to use via voice as the default synthasiser. I went into the system acdcess menue and selected sapi 4, but to my surprise it was one of my sapi 5 voices that came on. This leads me to believe that somehow I have lost the sapi 4 drivers. Can anyone advise on how I can get these back? Sorry for the long post.sapi 4
