i haven't been using the speech for quit a while and so i clicked on the speech trainer and nothing happens i checked earlier on the speak to hal area but it will just show a timer and neveer does anything else . any idea on what may be causing this , i havent edited anything in the brain and the regular part of hal is working ok where i type to hal . any help would be appreciated i even went back on a system restore tow or three days back but hal still does the same i can't get the speech training area to open up . the check mic level works ok as i did that .
