Speech Recognition limited to commands...

[Guest DrakeG4]

For some reason my Speech Recognition only seems to work with commands, when

i open up wordpad or notepad (or any other program I'm supposed to dictate

in) All I get is "What was that?" from the speech bar. I can control my

computer all da long with commands so I know it is'nt my mic. Also I know

that it is capable of dictation because if I use the How Do I... command, I

can say "How Do I Eat A Pizza", sure enough, on cue the Windows Help and

Support window pops up with Best results for "Eat A Pizza". But it does not

work with any kind of dictation, I've tried enabling "enable dictation

anywhere", I have done about 4 training sessions with it and the tutorials

went smoothly, even the microphone setup told me that Vista hears me fine.

I've tried just about every combination of options I could see as having a

possible effect to no avail. Could anyone help me with this?
