brandon
did you guys try running it in compatibility mode if not here are the steps
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1: while on the twblue shortcut on your desktop hit your applications key or shift +f10 if you do not have such a key 2: you are now in a context menu arrow down until you hear trouble shoot compatibility issues 3: hit enter on this and then follow the wizard that appears 4: when asked for the operating system use your up and down arrows a couple times because sometimes it does not stick on windows vista 5: after you have done all this twblue should pop right up and you should be good to go Yours truly, Brandon, Reed

Rosemarie Chavarria wrote, in regard to a friend of hers who insisted on staying with WinXP, "I asked him why and his answer was that it was simpler to work with." And I can't count the times I've heard this, about way more than Windows, and thought, "No, it's not easier to work with - it's what you're used to." Win XP was an OS I loved and Microsoft has the annoying habit of alternating "good" and "bad" versions of Windows. The number of things that require manual intervention from the user in XP is huge compared to later versions, particularly Windows 7 forward. And, when it comes down to it, even in the "ugly" versions of Windows the similarities to their predecessors is at least as strong as the differences, but the differences are where people are required to learn something new. David Moore's comments regarding those who live to be 100, or near it, really resonate with me. My grandmother died in the 1990s and was in her 90s at the time. When I think about what technology was at her birth and the amount of change she and her age cohort had to go through I am amazed. I don't know if I could be as flexible as they were. While the pace of change has picked up, particularly in the cyber world, the majority of changes I've lived through (I'm just short of 54 years old) feel to me much more like refinements on very familiar themes rather than complete divergences from what came before. That was not true for my grandparents at all, and my parents experienced more revolutionary changes than I have, too. I think my only two revolutions were the introduction of the personal computer and the ascendance of the internet. Brian

I used to have both twblue and chicken nugget. I got rid of TWblue, but i still have chicken nugget. The thing is, sometimes one app will work and one won't. Nugget is us d 15$. If you can make it work, chicken nugget seems to work pretty good from the invisible interface. It works the other way too but it seems somewhat more sluggish at times. hth Scott

You bring up some very good points here. I was talking to a friend the other day and he said he wishes he could go back to windows XP. I asked him why and his answer was that it was simpler to work with. He's a great example of someone who wants to stay in the stone age so to speak. I tried to suggest that he upgrades to windows 10 but he doesn't want to. Like the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Rosemarie

Wow. What happens if you have to call the microsoft support line for something?? If you're still using XP, they'll tell you to upgrade to either windows 7 or 10. You can't stay in the past forever.

I use the qube very successfully. Let me know if you want me to put a copy of the site where to download it from. I use it with win10 and it rocks and it is free as well. Don't pay for Chicken Nuget when the qube is free. One thing about the qube though, some of you may not want a total key command driven program. There is no window or menus for the qube. I like that, because I can be in any other program or on the web, and I can start using the commands for the qube and tweet while I am doing something else. Have a great one and let me know if you want the download site.

People who are
interested may want to hear a recording I made when I was evaluating this
version of Dectalk. it speaks differently enough and has a bit of a
different inflection pattern as well and those interested should hear the
program when deciding. You may be able to use it as a demo but this
recording may allow you to decide what you think of this version. The
original DECTalk couldn't be replicated, I think because the code was lost at
some time and this is a reconstruction. The person selling the program
isn't responsible for this. She is making available what has been
supplied.

I really don't know why people think that the cyber world can, will, or should offer indefinite backward compatibility when none of the rest of the world ever has. Whether it's because it's too cumbersome or difficult or because a given vendor just decides "time's up," the loss of stuff in the cyber world is a fact of life just like it is "in real life." The fact that it is easier, often by far, to cling to something in the cyber world long past its "expiration date" only complicates the problem. Brian
