SAPI problem, previous topics dont help.

[Isaak Johnson]

Hello, I'm Isaak Johnson and I have been having some problems with VAC since I upgraded from 1.8.2. to 1.8.3.

The one thats plagueing me more is the SAPI error which had started this morning, I have allready looked in the forums and all the other procedures that I followed from other topics have not worked, I tried reinstalling and checking all my commands for errors. It tells me SAPI failed to initialize. It gives me this error when I try to turn VAC on with any of my profiles loaded, and it also happens when I try "Test Phrase" in the VAC builder.

How can I solve this once and for all and if possible I would appreciate a link to the Full 1.8.2. version of VAC, cause this all started when I loaded 1.8.3. and I would just like to go back a step if this cant be solved.

My second problem is a little weirder and had started before the SAPI error, and has also started soon after loading 1.8.3. What it was was very strange, I would load and turn on a profile like normal and enter a game to start using it, it would accept my commands and act normal for about five minutes and then suddenly spaz out and activate a bunch of commands when I didn't even say anything (And my volume and recognition controls ARE set up properly I made sure of it multiple times.) then after it activates a bunch of commands it quits entirely and wont respond to any imput I give it. Now if I turn VAC all the way off and then back on it will start working fine again untill it spazzes out after five minutes again. Rarely it takes longer than five minutes to occur, but it does happen every time. I dont believe its because of CPU usage or anything because It will do it in a empty server of my own creation. I also know that I could work with VAC in a full server for hours before this started happening. And like I said before, it started happening soon after I upgraded from 1.8.2. to 1.8.3.

Again, I would greatly appreciate any help and also a link to the Full 1.8.2 version of VAC in case what solutions you suggest to me dont help.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Isaak,

I would prefer not to have anyone fall back to an older version. There was nothing from version 1.8.2 to 1.8.3 that would cause SAPI initialization errors. The SAPI initialization error sounds like the MS Speech engine install is bad or it sounds like it is trying to run on Windows 2000.

As far as your problem with ‘Spaz out’, that also sounds like the beginning of the problems with SAPI. Are you running this on Windows XP or Windows 2000?

[Isaak Johnson]

I am running on Windows XP.

Also my Microsoft Speech Recognition Software is version 5.1 in English.

Is there any other info I can give to help you help me solve this prblem?
