Hi Brian and Dark, I'm sorry, but I'm not getting the second set of errors that you guys are getting. My default voice is ATT Crystal, but I went through all of my ATT voices and down to Cepstrel Frank and had no problems or errors. So I am sorry, but I don't know what to say.

Re: [Audyssey] Changing Sappy voice for playing games
Hi brian. quite ironically, after your post I went to the control pannel to alter the sapi sinse I'm currently on my laptop and hadn't done it yet (though my desktop has always been fine with it). I actually ran into the same trouble you describe, so am also interested in the answer. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Changing Sappy voice for playing games
you need to find a file called sapisvr.exe then run it. This error is a result probably because the rec engine and sapi4 have issues then something was not run or something. find and run sapisvr.exe then it should all work.

Re: [Audyssey] Changing Sappy voice for playing games
well there is another way. It envolves sacrofising sapi4 support. 1. reformat then load everything but sapi4. I don't know how to uninstall sapi4 as well as the actual api itself. And well it will work. But you can't use any sapi4 device ever. At 04:22 a.m. 26/02/2008, you wrote: Hi Dark, I tried your idea, but that didn't work.

Re: [Audyssey] Changing Sappy voice for playing games
this runtime error has 2 parts. part1 is to do with the ms speech recognition engine. Reason is that sapi4 and 5 probably have issues with eachothers files although this issue is betwene the speech rec engine and sapi. This error can be left alone because its not a major issue. If it is you can just reformat and not use any sapi4 synths at all. the second error has a fix. search the hard drive for a file called sapisvr.exe run it. then open the control panel speech then colose it. Then open it again. you will get the first error and then ok that, change the voice settings then hit ok. and everything sapi wise will work. then closeAt 05:27 a.m. 25/02/2008, you wrote: Hi friends, When playing Ian Humphrey's games I don't like the voice the games are now using, so I'm trying to change the default sappy voice, but when I go to control panel, speech I there get a run time error.
