I don't use the voice rotor app, but all my voices work fine from the
Window-Eyes control panel, e.g. DecTalk Access 32, Eloquence, and SAPI.
Have you rebooted your system since installing the 7.5.3 upgrade? It's
worth a try.

This is really strange. And I mean really.
This morning, I did upgrade to WE7.5.3, as it finally got released in
our local version. I have for a few years now, actively being enjoying
the VoiceRotor app, since I am working in a multi-lingual setting, and
need to switch voices ever so often.
Now, when hitting the hotkey for switching - Win-F2, I am told the
requested voice cannot be found. It happens, when I try to switch to a
SAPI voice; and it happens when I try switch back to Eloquence Reed. No
matter what voice I wanted to switch to, in my defined list, it keeps
telling me the voice cannot be found. I then opened the definition
screen for the app - by hotkey Ctrl-Win-F2. And woopsy, there the list
of voices installed is all blank.
But the strangeness does not stop here. I now thought, what about the
native list of voices, in the WE control panel. So, I go there, under
Devices, and syntehsizers. Would you believe it, the list is totally
BLANK. Yes, that is true, it keeps telling me no selected item, when I
arrow up and down the list. Simply totally blank. Not even Eloquence is
showing up there.
OK, now you think the silliness is all done? Oh, no, guys - hold your
breath, there is yet one more puzzling to come. Eloquence keeps speaking
flawlessly. Even when I type this message, he is reading out all of it
to me. Simply just not showing up in my synthesizer list. Where did he -
and the very list of a few handfuls voices under Eloquence and SAPI -
go. Are they playing hide and seek? Who knows. They are not showing up,
whatsoever.
Could anyone here please, check to see if this is a general bug in
WE7.5.3, or if my computer has started a new game with me. Or, does
anyone happen to have the slightest clue, what to try - so as to get
back my choices of voices. And, YES, I already have tried to close WE,
and restart it. No change. The list of synths, keeps blank. HELP!
