I'd also would like to know if you have installed GW Micro WindowEyes with Eloquence and if you are using Kurzweil with the IBM ViaVoice TTS engine. Guido Guido D.

The strange number is caused by 8 mb being used for video. I run xp pro from the E partition of my harddrive, and have 98 on C. Kurzweil and all my other software is installed to both C and E, so the two operating systems can't mess with each other's files. I have an MSI motherboard with a VIA chipset that jaws doesn't get along with. Freedom Scientific is currently investigating, so I don't use xp much. I don't use it at all for scanning because I need a new PCI SCSI card instead of the ISA one I use in Windows 98. My crashes only happen when reading. I suppose I could say how often if I used it more, but I've kind of given up on xp for now. I really need a new motherboard, but I'm sure Microsoft would object to Xp being installed on what they will think is a new computer. I don't know if Kurzweil can object to my motherboard too, but I wouldn't be surprised about it if it did. Maybe it is just a continuation of the multiple synthesizers conflicting problem. It shouldn't be the sound card, because I don't use the onboard one. I installed a SoundBlaster Live value.
