Hmmm! Well I unzipped this version I found and noticed there's an older version of speakfre.exe in there going back to 1999. So I replaced this with the speakfre.exe I found on the speak-freely.org site. I setup a directory called speakfb and tried to run from there. Says it is linked to dsound.dll. I hunted that down and found it in \windblows\system\dsound.dll so copied it into this directory and still isn't seen. So I'm almost there. I'll try the link you provided to see if it's a better working animal! Amanda
