[tmp] Funny/strange issue with creating .talk clips

Think this most likely has something to do with my PC not being 'happy', but, 
just wondering if anyone can think of quick/simple/easy workaround to try 
figure/sort out this issue?

Anyway, this is on my windows7 64 bit PC, where it worked fine in past, but 
where recently, both RBClip, and voiceBox keep throwing up errors, and the 
.talk files they do create don't seem to be readable/usable on my sansa E260 in 
any case - am guessing it's some or other form of incompatibility with 
encoders, or something, since, yes, this is my primary 
working/development/testing machine, so I install/uninstall lots of software on 
it, and have quite a few other bits of audio editing software, etc. on it, but 
anyway.

Did also try reinstalling RBClip, recopying voiceBox from initial backup, off 
unit itself, etc., but, could also be due to some or other background issue 
with operating system itself - it's close to my version of a deadline to reload 
operating system from scratch, but anyway.

In meantime, workaround is to actually use a virtual, VMWare instance of 
windows XP that I run on this machine for testing things to generate .talk 
clips from there, and that works, but, it means I am limited to choosing which 
voices to make use of, since that virtual machine has limitations on what can 
install in/on it as well.

And, can't find any obvious error log items on primary operating system either, 
but anyway.

Stay well
