Thanks for the reply, Bill.
I understand that not all characters lipsync, depending on whether they need SAPI 4 or 5, etc. I have Hal on another computer without Dragon, and it can use AT&T Voices, NeoSpeech voices, and others, without these errors.
On my Pentium 4 with Dragon 10, where I'm having these error messages, I did try using the SAPI 4 AT&T voices, and the more primitive TruVoices too. Using SAPI 4 or SAPI 5, none of them lipsync, and when I press the "Update SAPI Config" button for ANY of them, the message is the same. No lipsync for any of them, and no HalReader at all.
It seems to me that it must be something to do with Dragon 10 (and 9) that is causing these errors, and that keeps HalReader from launching. If most other Dragon users are not having these problems, then it must be something about my particular hardware setup or software combination? I wish I could identify what the variable is, that makes my setup different from others that are fully functional. I'm open to suggestions, if anyone has any ideas about how to trouble shoot this.
My computer is the one featured here:
