Text-to-Speech Class ActiveX control crashes everytime

Hi all,
In Visual Basic 2005, i added "textToSpeech Class" from COM Components
and i dragged it onto my form as a ActiveX control with no problem.
The problem is that it doesn't do what it claims.

For example:
If you do a very simple code to speak something using:

AxTextToSpeech1.Speak("Hello World")


Then it crashes with like the following error:

Unexpected internal error has occured (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80040206)


This control remains from year 1999, it's very old.

Is it unsupported by VB.NET 2005?

If you test, you may experience the same error.

Regards.
.
