Gosh! I’m sorry, Dorothy. I must have missed this message, or if I read it, 
I must have missed the point. At any rate, I followed the directions but 
couldn’t get the “welcoming” voice to say anything, not even a mere “by your 
leave” or "chew on that"—nothing! I tried it a couple of times, so whatever 
I did wrong, I did it wrong consistently (which is a good thing, so my 
Baptist Sunday school teacher used  to tell me, or was it "consistency is 
the hobgoblin of little minds," he used to say?) Who knows? Not even the 
Shadow knows that.

By the way, I am running a 64-bit machine, so maybe that's the problem. You 
think?

Here's something I found, Walt; I've no idea if it was the origin of the
voice you had when you first heard it....but worth trying maybe.
http://thecustomizewindows.com/2010/10/let-your-computer-say-welcome-on-startup/

There's a female voice "Anna" and a male voice "Sam."

And another forum that says basically the same thing, but if you scroll down
you'll see where someone said it didn't work on win 7 64 bit ultimate:  but
he figured that one out too:

http://forum.thewindowsclub.com/windows-tips-tutorials-articles/31562-make-windows-7-welcome-you-audio-voice-message-during-logon.html

Good luck talking to Anna!....or having Anna talk to you!
