Could somebody help me with a problem that I seem to have encountered? I am
running Windows XP and, for some reason, my microphone isn't being
recognised in either of my sockets. When I try to look at my speech
recognition tabs it for some reason says that the necessary engine cannot be
created. Up until the last time I used it, which was recently, Microsoft
English ASR Version 5 Engine was working properly now it isn't being
reconised and I can't change settings. I cannot use Voice Recorder either.
It is just a plug and play microphone which worked fine up until recently.
I did install SP2 (twice) but have had to uninstall because it doesn't
recognise my scanner.

I hope someone can help me with the above, if more information is needed
please let me know and I will provide.

TIA

Kathy
