Hi, Mark.. If this was me, I use terminal command line to do my package management (installation and removals) so I would do something like this: apt-get install --reinstall speech-dispatcher That does in fact reinstall *ONLY* speech-dispatcher. If there are dependencies involved, that command does NOT touch them. If any dependencies exist, they have to be determined and manually reinstalled one by one (or as a group in a single command), also. If you've never done that using apt-get, there will possibly be some prep work, e.g. running the command "apt-get update" first, that needs done specific to your setup. If you use a different package manager such as aptitude or synaptic, I don't use those so I don't know their method for doing the same. As well known as aptitude and synaptic are, though, there must surely be related documentation on how to perform the above or similar via those alternatives to apt-get. Good luck!
