Well, well, I discovered something very interesting. I was able to
successfully log on to SA to Go using IE with no add-ons enabled. In XP,
this version of IE can be launched from the System Tools submenu under the
Accessories submenu under All Programs. So it isn't necessary to reset IE
If this indeed is a solution for this problem then instructions as to how to
create this shortcut would have been nice. If anyone out there wants to try
this try the following:
Note: going off of memory since I don't use XP anymore.
1. START menu, select PROGRAMS, select ACCESSORIES then select
I tried the equivalent of this in Windows 7 and it does seem to work. I
did not hear the first welcome voice, but the voice came up in the
second step of the process and SA to Go did function correctly after I
agreed to the user agreement. Something tells me that Serotek is not
working too
Hi Denny, is this free defrag program speech accessible and can it be
used with XP 32 home edition? Thanks

I tried to determine which add-on might be interfeering with SA to Go by
selectively disabling individual add-ons. I can't be 100% certain, of
course, but I think the offending add-on might be Microsoft Silverlite,
which often installs itself surreptitiously. Other add-ons may also
Yes, it is accessible and it can be used on all platforms.

Something which interests me is that I have a solid state drive. Presumably
defragmenting it doesn't result in much by way of performance improvements
but I haven't read anything on the subject.
Does anyone else know?

Why don't you try:
go to all programs off the start menu
go to accessories
then to system tools
and then to defrag
It works for me like a gem

Actually it is a drive with no moving parts. essentially a 64 GIG iPod built
into the computer instead of a spinning drive. The main disadvantage is
size, so far they don't have the capacity of conventional drives but they
don't draw nearly the power and are silent and very shock resistant.

I can assure you it doesn't destroy it. Not sure it does anything.

Well serves me right. I should have googled before this.
There is no advantage to defragmenting a SSD (Solid State Drive, they are

write to any
No, defragging will not damage the card, but it will begin shortening life
expectancy because of the repeated rewrites.
Reading is faster than writing to these cards but not by much.
I didn't know of such urban legends as those who know about these cards
aren't susceptible to common
Could you get the same results of a solid-state drive by installing
linux on a flash drive and then booting off it?

Good question, but USB2.0 is a slower connection than SATA II connections.
There are many other factors too.
The class/speed of your Thumb drive is important too.

Not exactly.
The SSD drives I am speaking of are installed in the computer rather than a
spinning mechanical drive. other than that they are very similar to any of
the cards or USB devices except that they are quite a bit faster.
