Hi, A person on another list is having this problem and I was hoping you all could help with it. His info is below. Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryan Peterson Hi all, I recently began experiencing a problem with Sapi 5. Can't say about Sapi 4 but Sapi 5 doesn't seem to want to run anymore. I can't use it with JAWS, and more importantly I can't play many of my favorite Kitchens Inc games. I've tried all the usual stuff, uninstalling and reinstalling the software and the voices, but it's as though Windows isn't recognizing that it's installed, even though the program says it was installed successfully. I'm wondering if this is a problem that can be fixed with relative ease or if I'll have to reformat the hard drive on my Laptop again. I doesn't say that any files are missing, but I'm wondering if that's the case, and if so where I might go to look. Any help would be appreciated. Since I might be using Sapi speach in some games I create I kinda need to get this sorted out. I'm using JFW 7.10 and Windows XP.
