I am using version 9 professional, but Steve is probably correct regarding the RAM. I currently have 1 GB and at times it does seem to bog down a little more if I have too many programs running. You may also want to see if there is anything on no-brainer (however it is spelled with know instead). I just don't want to train the word in my vocabulary. http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm hopefully this helps. Quadius

Even then you have to upgrade to Ver. 9.5 for Vista compatibility, and 9.5 is currently only available for the standard and preferred editions. They are working on the 9.5 version for the professional edition and it should be available soon. They will not be providing any Vista compatible updates for any previous versions of NaturallySpeaking. Looks like it will be best to stay with Windows XP unless you want to upgrade to Ver. 9.5. If you do go with Vista and NaturallySpeaking 9.5, I strongly recommend having at least 2GB of RAM on the computer at a minimum, more if your computer and budget can handle it.

My brother is setting up my new laptop and he says it will not take Dragon. Is this true. He says Visa has its own voice program. I can't imagine not having Dragon. Does any one know anything about the new VISTA program and Dragon. I hope someone can help me. I just have Dragon 8 professional and he thought he had to order Dragon 9482 work. Surely someone has come across this problem. He is taking my bedroom computer to work on and all I will have is the laptop in here. My living room computer is new but it did not have this to so Dragon eight is working fairly well with some problems. He thought it was also a 64 bit whatever that means? HELP!
