Try searching for the sapi.dll. One my PC it's located in folder... C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech (and not C:\Windows\System32 or \Speech as you might expect) On the off chance that it did somehow get deleted... restore it from your WinXP installation CD. (WinXP is/was shipped with SAPI 5.1) You might also want to manually update your OS via IE (Tools -> Windows Update [Express, then Custom]) to ensure you have the most up to date version of SAPI.
