Hey men, I had the same problem and cannot find any solution... ****, Speech Recognition is soooo good I just went to Start > Programs > Accessories > Ease of Access > Speech Recognition And then I managed to use this wonderful tool... But if you go to the menu of speech recognition and clic on one of the 6 first options, it will crash... This is not a problem at all as these menus can be found via the console of Speech Recognition. Have fun...
