Hi, Since Jim Kitchen's SAPI fix program didn't solve anything on my system, I decided to try something out myself. And here is what fixed my SAPI (except from one voice, but I might look into that later). This fix is meant for a SAPI 5 that has been broken by installing Game Menu and it may be total rubbish. - I read the installation log of Jim's Game Menu and I found that the only really interesting change was the replacement of the file SAPI.DLL. - The SAPI.DLL-file included in the Game Menu package is not the original Windows XP-version. So first make sure that after installing Game Menu the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SAPI.DLL 724 kB in size is. - If this is not the case, get the right version from somewhere else on your harddrive or from here: http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/S/sapi.dll/5.1.4111.00/download.html - Make sure that the right file is located in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32-directory and that it is called "sapi.dll" (without the quotes obviously). Notice that the whole filename is in lower-case letters. - Restart any software that uses SAPI 5 or just reboot your PC.
This worked quite well on my system, hope it also helps other people out... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Søren Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 6:28 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Sapi fix was:Re: again on montezuma's error.
