Thanks, Cheryl.
I don't remember where I saw it, either on this list or the K1000 list, but I
swear that I remember someone said that they were able to run either one on the
same machine. I wish I could remember who that was. I really don't expect to
need it much, but the irritating thing is that I was not even using the
viavoice with it when I installed K1000. Apparently, though, K1000 did
something to something that OpenBook feels it needs to run. That
vaguely-worded hypothesis is the best I can come up with at the moment.

Hi Evan and list. I've had the same problem for the last year. I can't access
openbook 5.0 for the
sole purpose of converting scanned text/reference works in ark format to rtf
for personal library. I've been using kurzweil for a couple years now. -- Of
course I can't scan now because we burned out the motor of our Epson 4490.
Isn't technology great (she said sarcastically).

I can no longer use OpenBook. Despite the fact that I was using JAWS with
it, and not its unstable Viavoice, whenever I open it now, I get a viavol.exe
error, and OpenBook will not talk to me with JAWS. What a hunk o' junk! I
know that K1000 is using Viavoice. I set it up that way to read, because I
didn't want to read with Neospeech. I wanted to scan a couple of pages in this
book I was refering to in which I lost all the em dashes to see what it would
do with the same material.
While I expect to use K1000 from now on, OpenBook was paid for, and I don't
think it is unreasonable to expect to be able to access it whenever I want it.
Anybody got any advice?
