I’m not at all sure reinstalling will accomplish
anything. There is a way to repair SAPI 5, which I don’t
know if it will help. If the voices work before login, it
appears they don’t need reinstallation. I wonder if it is a
registry problem. While I don’t know, maybe the repair
procedure or utility might correct that. The voices clearly
work. They work on the login screen. Here again, I don’t
know but reinstalling SAPI voices might be something to do
after running the repair. Also, if you are going to fool
around trying various things, I wonder if and how you would
set the voice to something that isn’t SAPI 5 before login so
that if trying things makes things worse, you will have
speech on that screen.
I don’t know what was done to your computer, but I
believe that even for something unrelated to software, if a
computer is brought into a shop, routine diagnostic tests
and maintenance may be done and I suspect something was done
that caused the problems. Those who have more technical
knowledge and know what shops routinely do may want to
comment. In thinking about what you are describing and
about a shop I used to use years ago, I’m beginning to think
that if you take a computer in for a specific problem and it
wrks properly aside from that, that it might be a good idea
to instruct the shop to do nothing else.
Hi Jackie,
That's something I was thinking about possibly having to do,
we're on
the same wavelength. Trust me I already as they say, googled
it so we
don't even have to go there. Needless to say, the hits were
enormous,
and the answer is the proverbial needle in a haystack.
Where can you
find the actual executable file for performing the
re-install, that's
the question now.
