Hi there! If you have the "Windows XP CD" with ya, there's a pretty simple way I learned to fix this problem, and it goes like this: 1. In the "windows control panel," head over to: "Folder Options" 2. Head over to the "advanced" tabe, and select the option to "show!" hidden files and folders." (Might as well keep that window open after pressing the "apply" button. 3. go to the "run" diallog, and type: c:\windows\inf then press enter. 4. Find the "sapi.inf" file, and press the "applications key." or "shift-f10," then select "install." 5. After you press "enter" on install, you will need to grab your XP CD, and hold-down "shift" after inserting it into your CD-drive. 6. Click the browse" button, and type in "f:\I386," then press enter. (Most Cd drives of course normally use "D," so um, make sure you know what your CD-drive's letter it...) 7. Now look for the "SAPI.dll" file, then press enter on it. 8. Finally, press "ok," and the CD" should do all the rest. 9. Oh, almost forgot, remember the "folder options" diallog, don't forget to change the "hide" the files, and close the window.
