Hi Mike, Generally speaking, extracting files, refers to unpacking them from a compressed archive. In some cases, simply copying the files in the archive, won't work properly. In your case, it worked fine, and you got Narrator running. Just refer to Patricia's post on unzipping files, she nailed it pretty good. HTH, Richard Q.

Hi Richard, When you say in step #1, extract the files from the zip archive, does that mean that I should open and run these 2 files in My Documents where I had saved them to, and then copy all the files from the Program files folder in My Computer and then paste them into the Windows directory? Or do I just copy 1. narrator.exe, 2. NARRHOOK.dll, and paste just these 2 files into the directory? I'm sorry for the confusing questions but, when you say extract the files I am not quite sure what that means. I did look on the Audio Tutorials & Tips pages for extracting files info and didn't find anything but, I did get narrator running by pasting the 2 files without doing anything else into the directory and then creating a desktop shortcut. I just want to make sure that I did it correctly. Again, thank you very much for all your patience and help.

To use it, do the following: 1. extract the files from the zip archive. 2. copy the files to the clipboard 3. paste the files in the following folder: c:\Windows\system 4. Create a shortcut on the desktop for the, Narrator.exe file. You may assign a hotkey for the shortcut if you want. That's it, you are done. Simply activating the shortcut, will load Narrator If you have other sappi voices on your system, the ones that will work with this version of Narrator will show up in the Narrator main window under the voices dialogue.
