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...

Hi Che.

Have you tried to download SAPI from Jim Kitchens website? It fixed my SAPI
problem.

Best regards Søren.
