Microphone

[Guest]

Could somebody help me with a problem that I seem to have encountered? I am
running Windows XP and, for some reason, my microphone isn't being
recognised in either of my sockets. When I try to look at my speech
recognition tabs it for some reason says that the necessary engine cannot be
created. Up until the last time I used it, which was recently, Microsoft
English ASR Version 5 Engine was working properly now it isn't being
reconised and I can't change settings. I cannot use Voice Recorder either.
It is just a plug and play microphone which worked fine up until recently.
I did install SP2 (twice) but have had to uninstall because it doesn't
recognise my scanner.

I hope someone can help me with the above, if more information is needed
please let me know and I will provide.

TIA

Kathy

the firewall might be your problem , try this and see if
it works >>> start >>> control panel >>> internet
connection >>> right click the one you use for the
internet >>> Properties >>> advance tab >>>> Settings and
select disable firewall >> click ok and see how that
works

by disabling the firewall tho, wont this cause problems in other areas? is
there no way the microphone can work without this being disabled?
