Game man, i've been having similar run time error messages everytime I've tried to use Orphius with Sapi applications. But the other day when this came up on the Audeasy list, Jim kitchen added some extra files to his site (he's a very kind bloke like that). The Delusalex.exe file is a fix for Sapi that solved my run time error issue nicely. I'm not quite sure if this is the same run time error your getting, but it might be worth trying. Please note though, that running the file seems to cause nothing to happen, however I did get results from running it so I can only assume it worked.
andy, another file Jim Kitchin has recently added to his page is a file called "Speech Xp exe" I assume if you've already got sam, your running windows Xp (though I could be wrong about this).
Download and run the "Speech Xp Exe" file, and Mike and mary will be available to you.
As to trivia files, simply open one with note pad and have a glance at the formatting, as i remember, a litle application of logic should tell you everything you want to know, I won't go into a long discussion of it here though as it would be extremely off topic, and while being off topic isn't a crime, being off topic in somebody's problem thread can be really annoying.
imagine, you post a thread about a problem, you get 8 replies, and find that none! of them are actually anything to do with your problem.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
