Can't Use Additional Voices For Text
Aug 1, 2012
I'm trying to install additional voices for Windows 7 narrator and other Text to Speech Programs. I have downloaded and installed this: Download: Microsoft Speech Platform - Runtime (Version 11) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details, and then few of these: Download: Microsoft Speech Platform - Runtime Languages (Version 11) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details (I am using Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate on a desktop PC) But I am not able to find the option to use these newly instlled voices for text to speech.

I'm looking for additional voices for the Text to Speech engine and how to install them. I tried searching but I was unable to find anything that would apply to Windows 7. To clarify, you go into control panel, Speech Recognition, and then open the Text to Speech menu. Under Voice Selection there's a dropdown menu with only one option, Microsoft Anna. XP had Microsoft Sam (who I liked better) and was able to load in third party voices.
But I cannot figure out how to download or install any other voices into Windows 7. My reason for this is for use with the Ventrilo chat client, which uses the Windows TTS engine so it can only use voices that are installed on the computer. I don't much care for the default Microsoft Anna, and more choices are always better, so I'm looking how to install additional voices, especially Microsoft Sam.

I installed software that uses the old Microsoft Mary and Mike voices. They were installed (or partially installed), but they don't appear in the control panel, tts, so how do I delete them. If the steps would be different for Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit,

everytime i watch a video, whether it be on Internet or vlc, i get this problem that makes every background noise come forward and louder, and the voices are incredibly quiet, when someone does speak the entire audio becomes choppy, like its grinding, this happened last night while i was using vlc just before i started a new episode, now it does it on Internet, even my itunes music is like it, i just get drums and bass.i've tried restarting the computer, even disabling the sound card driver ( i use realtech audio by the by) i've even uninstalled and reinstalled vlc to see if that was a possible fix, but nope, its still the damn same.

Ok this is wierd I have a client using Office 2007 pro and some of her docs that she recently updated and the problem is when she prints the docs text that she deleted is printing over the top of new text she inserted into the doc.
Now when you have said doc open in WORD the deleted text is not there in any view and does NOT show in "print preview".
I opened said doc with WORDPAD and the deleted text shows up at the bottom so its still in the word doc somewhere imbedded so it prints over the top of the actual text in the doc.

I have a project where I need to search a large amount of text files on my home PC. I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. My research indicated this feature was available in Windows 7.
If you do a search in Windows XP, you get a bunch of fields. You can pick to search for text INSIDE the particular sub folder structure.
I have found this feature in Windows 7, but it is different. I have tried using wild cards but it does not seem to work properly.

All of the sudden, when I want to copy and paste something in the same document, the formatted text (whether that be a certain font or bold) does not transfer over to the pasted text. For instance, if I wanted to copy the following bolded word word and then paste it anywhere else in the document, I now get this: word (without the bold). This applies to other cutting and pasting problems: this applies to other fonts and formatting (bold, my Greek font, etc).One more example: before today, if I wanted to cut a text out of my New Testament Greek program right in the middle of a paragraph, the Greek font (or whatever font) would paste normally no matter what font the target MS Word text was in.

Currently I'm using Comodo Internet Security as a firewall and I'm planning to build a home network using Windows 7 Homegroup and thought that Comodo might be an obstacle in doing that.
So my question is, as a normal home user of Windows 7, do I really need a 3rd party firewall other than Windows 7's firewall?

My setup: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on ThinkPad T510. 1HD, two partitions (C and D).I just reinstalled my system and encrypted C; however, there is absolutely no option to encrypt D. I've tried accessing the drive from admin account and still nothing. When I open BitLocker management, it only lists partition C and not D.Here is some additional information that might or might not matter: I tried to restore my Windows 7 from an Acronis image and it was unsuccessful. Tried it twice and during booting POST showed two different W7s installed, which was incorrect. When I finally installed Windows 7 from scratch, the extra W7s were still appearing before startup and I had to use EasyBCD to remove them. Now when I am trying to backup partition C, Acronis says that my System Reserved Partition (SRP) is on partition D. My hunch is that Acronis messed up my drive D when I was trying to restore my C partition. Then when I did a fresh Windows 7 install, the SRP incorrectly ended up in D and since SRP cannot be encrypted, that means that my entire drive D can�t be encrypted either. I am dreading about going through formatting my 750GB HD and installing Windows 7 and encrypting it yet again. I read somewhere that you can use software like Acronis Disk Manager to move the SRP to drive C, but I am not sure how this will work because when I open the native winodws Disk Management, I don�t see SRP there.

Windows 7 64bit Retail version, installed about 6 months
I built the computer for my wife, and was awaiting some items to come into stock, so I had only 4gb of ripjaw ram when first installed everything, and everything ran perfectly.
I got my second lot of ram an additional 4gb of ripjaw ram, same model and mhz rating, however once installed BSOD appeared time and time again, I couldn't track down the problem, I ran mem tests, and came back that there was some errors, I took all 4 sticks back and had them replaced, one set was exchanged on the spot the other took about 2 months, so cruising along on 4gb of ram again, and all is well, receive my additional sticks, and within 2 minutes of loging in, BSOD...
The Motherboard has 4 slots, and is compatable with this ram, the slots are colour coded, blue and white (from memory) and the pairs are in the own colours, pair 1 in the blue slots (1 & 3 slots) and pair 2 are in the white slots (2 & 4 slots), once i pull the additional ram out, back to normal.

I recently bought a new computer, it came with a 1TB hdd which was mounted. I had a new 1TB HDD already, and when i tried mounting it, it was to small, the HDD that the pc came with had some plastics on it's sides that held it properly.I mounted the HDD and put it on the Case floor, it's working but recently i've been getting I/O errors, it all solved when i unplugged and plugged it again, but my question is, how do i mount it properly without those plastics as i don't know what they are or how they are called?

I am upgrading my HTPC that i put together a few years back to have a SSD as a boot drive to increase space, quiet background running and speed up booting, etc.Everything was running fine before trying to exchange the raptor for the m4. I had a big issue getting Windows installed on m4 but finally did a clean install when no harddrive was connected except the SSD to the original SATA port of the boot drive. Once I had windows installed, and i was able to boot up with only the SSD attached to the boot SATA port, I attached the 3 storage drives to their original SATA ports and got an error when booting... it paused in mid boot, then started searching for a boot disk in the DVD drive. I looked at the BIOS and the SSD is listed as 1st (port0) on hard drive boot order and hard drive is 1st boot priority. I unplugged all 3 storage drives and it booted up without an issue

One of the features that I love about Windows Home Server is the drive pool. No matter how many physical hard drives there are WHS just sees C: and D:. Running out of storage? Just throw in another hard drive. On my 7 machine I already need to add a hard drive for storage. Is there an elegant method to be able to use that additional hard drive with my libraries so that all new files are saved to the new drive

This may seem like a strange thing to do, but today's SSD article reminded me of my desire to find out if this is possible - I have an unusual requirement that discourages me from even going the "small ssd as boot drive, large hdd for other things" route, unless I can find a way to do this. I do QA work for a distributor of downloadable games, so I like to be able to install the entire catalog (150+ GB), and put them into folders under "C:Program Files (x86)", so that I'll be able to see whether the UAC will cause problems for them (I install most of my other programs outside Program Files). Thus, to use ssd+hdd, I would need a way to apply the same restrictions to a folder on the hdd (and preferably also have any virtualized files directed to the hdd as well, but that's less critical).

Assume I pin a prgm to the Taskbar in Windows 7. How can I (later) add some additional start cmdline parameters for the launch of this program?
Sample: I pinned Windows Explorer. How can I add parameters like
explorer.exe /n,/e,D:work
Do I really have to create a shortcut first, then add the parms here in shortcut Properties and finally pin the shortcut? I cannot believe this procedure is the only way.
Under WinXP I could directly right click on an icon on QuickLaunchBar and add the parms without problems.

I have MSI-GT725-074US laptop with built in 4+1 speaker system for 3 years now. I had no problems before cos msi supported dolby drivers was working. I did a clean Windows 7 install yesterday and seems dolby's utility aint working(crashing) with Windows 7 64 bit. And only 2 speakers are working atm. How can I activate the other 2 speakers and the (mini)sub woofer?I installed latest realtek drivers, went into control panel+sound settings and changed settings to quadraphonic/5.1/7.1 and tried/tested them but no sound from additional speakers. Also there is a dolby tab in properties; I checked "sound space expander" and "Natural Bass"

I am wondering if it's possible to use a remote windows machine as an additional monitor for another Windows Machine. The reason I ask is rather simple, I have a Windows 7 Tablet, and at times would like to be able to optimize my work area with my laptop by using the tablet as extra display area. I know it's possible for Android and iOS, but is it at all possible for Windows 7? Even without the touchscreen capability, the extra display area would facilitate immeasurably.
