Hello,

Unless I missed it, I didn't see a link to the speak window in the message.

I was wondering if anyone has the link to this by chance?

Thanks,

Brandon

Then I will mount the iso file I created of the speak window to the virtual machine as a drive, and finally run it through the windows95 operating system from there.  Anything other than windows95 or NT will not run the software.
