Jonathan, Thanks for this. I did as you suggested and downloaded Heather since that's the free voice provided with voice dream. She downloaded just fine. When I then tried James and Julie who had both failed on earlier attempts, voice dream came back almost immediately stating the downloads were successful. Apparently, they had downloaded on the earlier attempt but the process didn't complete due to the error message.
I've always heard that love makes the world go 'round but I'm thinking that workarounds make it go 'round too.
