I've been emailing someone who has it running on Win2k and one problem he had was it not playing well with Team Speak. He purchased an USB microphone and now it works for him. Others have reported it works fine for them.

I can't tell you 100% yes it will.

Thanks for doing this great project, it will surely increase my immersion with my flight sim.

I´ve now installed the software and am getting . the vac builder not responding at certain times, I´ve run the 5.1 ms voice software with 3 test phases first to increase it´s accuracy, no lockups on that side.

Anyone or any info, I´ll let you know if I resolve it or you can you post here if he replies with tips.

I´ll try all before upgrading to XP :D because I want this to work

thanks again

You may also want to try setting the priority to normal and see if that helps.

You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it.

Running on normal priority.... Still doing the not reponding.

I´ll be download the speak pack and reinstalling that also as my next course of action

Do you think the Microsoft .Net framework 1.0 with 1.1 patch could have affected it.

I wonder if the other W2K users have that installed also!

I don't think the .Net framework would have any effect on it. I can't see that it would, but I can't say 100%.

It still kept not responding even from with windows but I started noticing othere problem not normal even when VAC wasn´t loaded

so I´ve rolled back to before I had .net framework and lot of other rubbish :D

Will start with a fresh download that you´ve just put on the site, ( thanks for writing "updating" in red :) ) as you were uploading it! got a drink and you finished in the mean time! LOL

will get the full install with
v1.4 of VAC ,to test your upload ;) and to eliminate aif there were problems with the first time I downloaded it.

Just a note. I did actually get and see it working with 2 commands in Pacific fighters and it understood me :D Made me feel all powerful!!!

Download finished as I write!!! :)

I´ll post the result here

My roll back to an old backup may not have been enough because I still get the VAC not responding, as per message in task manager.

So without reinstalling win 2k from scratch which I won´t do because I´m going to move over to XP at somepoint soon anyway, I can only say on my particular system VAC won´t run.

So for others with W2k I would recommend, downloading and trying it, you have nothing to loose and it de-installs ok if like me it doesn´t work.


Just something else good that came out of this.
I was amused when you have to train the voice recognitin software, as you read it understands you as you say each word. If you´ve never tryed voice recognition software then this is quite novel, I´ve an english accent and so it could understand me. So I thought my girfriend who is spanish and her friend who were in the other room learning english from text books should try this. I called them in and It was not the least to say funny to see them trying to speak pronouncing words wrong and the text not highlighting and moving along. All though as they spoke it moved anyway the majority of times, the software forced them to prounce the words more clearly. This was a great lesson for them. The down side was I lost the use of the pc, because I couldn´t get them off it!
Just thougth I´d share that with you (shift E)

Thanks

XP and VAC here I come.................:D
