hay all, been having a problem with sappi in windows xp. That being, no sappi voice will work. Not even narrator will run, it just closes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling sappi. I've also tried reconfiguring speech output audio devices but I always get, "this voice cannot be played." Any suggestions?

Hi there. Try this, you *may* need your windows xp cd for it.
1. Locate the following file: C:WINDOWSinfsapi5.inf

2. Right-click the file and select "Install"


This has worked for me before, though admittedly my narrator wasn't broken, only some sapi synths, but give it a go.
Cheers
Sam
