Hi Simon, seems that something is majorly wrong with your installation of Sapi. I had a similar problem. A friend of mine created a little freeware program called Text to mp3, which does exactly that - takes a .txt file and converts it into mp3 using Sapi, excellent for reading ebooks or any longer documents in general when travelling on your mp3 player, etc. External applications that try to access Sapi have to do so through the sapi.spvoice object, and my installation of Sapi got somehow broken one day, I don'T know even now what was the cause of it. My screen reader still worked, but all other appz, including the text2mp3, couldn't create the sapi.spvoice object any more, which was causing similar crashes to yours whenever there was an attempt to access Sapi. NOthing I could do fixed this problem, and as I wasn't given any XP installation CD with my computer, probably by accident, only thing I could do was to reformat my system partition and install a system recovery I was given, making the system look exactly the same as it was the day I got it. Only this was able to fix the problem. So I guess to remove any and all traces of Sapi you might have on your system, reinstall Windows (if you have the installation CD, a common reinstall on the top of the current system should do it) and then install Sapi 5.1 again. Hope this might perhaps help, Lukas ----- Original Message ----- From: "simon.dowling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "audysy" <Gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 2:56 PM Subject: [Audyssey] for tom.
