Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:55:14 -0000 Hi Dominick, That's great, thanks for the instructions. I am Visually Impaired. Unfortuantely it's not creating voice files. I see the odd .wav scattered through a few number of folders, almost as if the process started and failed. I could see that the Abort button after hitting Install quickly turns to OK. Plus the drive wasn't writing.
