Hi,

 

Above is a quote from MagikFortune's Software required page. However, when I

Click on either link - it then directs me to the Microsoft Explorer page

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/default.aspx

 

But which Links (?) on that Microsoft Internet Explorer page do I then Click

on

(?) in order to Download those (2) needed Speech Programs?

 

BTW, I'm using WindownsXP SP2 and my Character is, Peedy. However, I do hear

the flapping sound of his wings, when he comes, or goes. But that's all.

Thank you,

Jean

I did. Error Tab on page reads, "The system cannot find the file specified."

 

Thanks, anyway, Donald. And I am sorry that I took so long to get back to

You :)

Both Times :))

Re: Magik Fortune's Character Can't Speak

 

BALL OF CONFUSION IS MICROSOFT!

 

I have spent several hours perusing & downloading many, Text-to-Speech &

SAPI 4.0 Downloads only to dead-end myself.

 

Jeepers! What is wrong with MS anyway? Why is there so much of similar

everything and so much stuff that simply doesn't work??

 

I think the guy on the Apple commercials has got it right; I mean after all

these years - and things just seem to get more convoluted as time goes on.

 

A simple thing of just getting an animated character to talk is a big big

production that can't be done simply, for Heaven's Sake!

 

At this point, in time, the computers should not only be diagnosing

themselves, but resolving their own issues! And WE should be living a quality

of life - instead of living a time-consuming-frustrating-wasted time and

energy exsistance on this crap.

 

Lastly, to think that Gates is the richest man in America. As in 57 billion

worth? If ever anyone did not deserve a large amount of $ he's gotta be 1st

in line. Period.

Thank you,

Jean

Re: Magik Fortune's Character Can't Speak

 

Sorry, "Bill G." about that last Post.

 

I finalllllllly got Peedy talking. Wow, MagikFortune's downloading web site

http://www.ezytools.com/magikfortune (2) downloading links were strangely

sensitive. I use a Notebook w/touch-pad but never had this experience B/4; it

just wouldn't connect whenever I had tapped on it.

 

However, I kept coming back, and finally, I made a connection, and was then

able to download both of the programs.

 

But the 1st link I didn't need as SAPI 4.0 is installed by WINXP default (as

the previous Poster noted) so I had this new one, plus the default one, and

then another that I had come across on the Miscrosoft MSAGENT web site.

 

What a mess. But it's all ok, now. Really ok since I invested so much time.

Whew!
