Thanks, Shelly, I had forgotten about that little gotcha. I do use Window Eyes 
and got caught in that. You have to NOT install the Eloquence that comes with 
K1000 if you have Window Eyes installed. It just won't work if you do install 
it. I don't know why that happens, but you can use Eloquence with K1000 if you 
do not install it when you install K1000. Strange but true. At least that's the 
way it worked when I installed K1000 on my machine with Window Eyes back in 
January of 2008. They may have fixed that by now, or they may not have.

  Also do you use Window Eyes, there was something where if you installed 
Window eyes you would loose Eliquence for Kurzweil.

      You may have to re-install the voices that came with Kurzweil. I think 
they are on a second c d.

        I have tried that, and nothing happens. I close Kurzweil, and relaunch 
it, only to find the microsoft voice back.

          What happens if you go into Settings, change the speech back to 
Eloquence, then save your settings under Default? Then reload K1000 and see 
which speech you get. Have you tried that?

            Hi, all.

            Something very strange has happened to my kurzweil. For some 
reason, it's voice has defaulted to microsoft narrator, which is horrid, rather 
than eloquence, which I prefer. I uninstalled, and re-installed, and still, the 
problem persists. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm running 
version 11, on a windows XP machine.
