Hi Gerald, I downloaded and installed the talking clock, 1.1 successfully. Thanks for your suggestion, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Levy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 7:45 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] About the talking clock!
I did some checking, and apparently, Talking Desktop Clock was updated to version 1.1 a few days ago, so it's possible that some change was made to this program that triggered this error message. The only thing I can suggest is to remove the program and reinstall it again. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm running Talking Desktop Clock 1.0.4, which works fine with XP Pro.
