"The wizard could not start" WSR warning message.

When I click on Windows Speech Recognition the above message appears. I

have not used WSR before and am trying to learn how to use it. I don't

have a microphone connected to the computer as yet, does this stop the

program from working completely? I have been following the advice and

instructions given in Help, and in the control panel. I don't see

anything that says I must have a microphone connected before doing

anything with WSR?

Is it possible that WSR software in my computer is incomplete or messed

up?

Another error message: "Can't start Speech Macros, windows speech

recognition macros was unable to initialize its command system to begin

operation."

Error details: "Initialization failure can occur if WSR is not

installed or configured incorrectly, if audio devices are improperly

installedd or configure, or if the other system requirements of WSR are

not met."

Sure could use some advise on this one!

Thanks listers.
