Hi Its not clear what version of ZipSpeak your using? What Speakup files did you download and put in your d:\Linux directory? If your batch file only contains the lines you disclosed then it will need a little more than that to work. Surely you'll need something like: loadlin dectlk root=/dev/hdb1 ro Give us more info and we'll get you up and running.
