Installing and running 7Zip, how?

2015-07-08 Thread Larry Higgins via Talk
Hi listers, I just went to the download link for the Dectalk SAPI file, and it has a .7z extension. I take it that this means that it is meant to be extracted with the 7Zip compression software? I went to the 7Zip site, and downloaded and installed the 32-bit version, because I couldn't

Besides doing a disappearing act after supposedly scanning and processing a file, I now find that pressing the help button gives me a dialog box for opening a file rather than a help text. This didn't happen the first time I used the app, but started this behavior shortly afterward. I

Listers, I think I've had this happen before, but I don't remember when. Anyway, I was listening to a stream with Winamp, and wanted to focus on the Winamp window to adjust the volume, but the opened Window didn't appear, except in the task bar. I tried pressing enter on it there, but got

Listers, I can't believe that I'm dealing with this issue again. The worst part of it is, I can't remember just how I managed to get WE to speak characters when typing, and have the setting apply globally, as well as staying set. I have tried using the insert-1 key, and saving the setting, and

Sonya, one Caveat, this method only works in files where brows mode is used, otherwise you can use the old shift+arrow keys to perform this function. At first, you might wonder why this should be so necessary, or at least convenient. One way I find this method to be useful is when I wish to

I'm not too sure just how this would apply to Windows 7 users, but a quick and dirty way I have found to get the job done in Windows 8.1 is to go to the task manager, and end the IE session. This method can be a bit risky since you might end up undoing another task by mistake, but it usually
