Hello you all.

I am an MA student in Creative Music Technology and currently
trying to write a little game based on voice recognition.

I downloaded the speech SDK 5.1 from Microsoft and had a look at the example code.
Evertime I hit "run" I am prompted with:
"Runtime Error (lots of numbers)
Method 'initialized' of object 'IVcommand' failed".

When I press "debug" in this dialogue, it says "MSDN collection does
not exist."


What is wrong?

Please help!

Great a many thanks,
bye,
Lea
