Hi Damien, I guess in order for us to solve your Sapi 5 issues I think it might be helpful, and try to find out how it got broke in the first place. For example, when I was trouble shooting Sapi 5 issues for Montezuma's Revenge I discovered if you install some speech demos, some third-party Sapi voices, and later remove them all of your Sapi 5 voices may stop working properly. In one case in point one of my customers installed some of the Cepstral voices, and when Cepstral upgraded to the latest Swift engine, he removed his older versions, and tried updating to the new voices. For whatever reason all of his Sapi voices stopped working. In the end I only solved his problem by talking him through a Sapi 5 reinstall from the Win XP recovery cd. As it happens it is events like that which has made me personally decide to drop Sapi 5 support in the next release of the game now known as Mysteries of the Ancients. My job is game technical support, not MS Sapi support, but you know how some customers are. If their machine is busted they want it fixed pronto so they can play the game they baught, and if their machine is broken they blame my game for their troubles rather than their cranky computer. Grin. Anyway, if you can help us out by telling us what you installed recently, if you have added any new Sapi voices recently, etc it would help out a bunch. Cheers.
