Two suggestions: 1.) Since you're using a demo of Vocal-Eyes, and not a registered copy, why not go get the asap demo from http://www.microtalk.com? It works well with PC Console apps without tweaks; 2.) Try turning Revector checking on in Vocal-Eyes. Do: Ctrl-Backslash to enter the VE Control Panel; Arrow to Option 5 -- General Arrow to Option 13 -- Advanced Arrow to Option 3 -- Revector It will be off by default. Turn it on. It will tell you that you need to reboot after using VE with this setting turned on, but that's not a problem when running in a DOS Window under Windows because you can just exit the DOS session and restart--something you probably mean to do anyway.
