I now see what the problem is. If I remember correctly and that is getting difficult lately, in your old autoexec.bat file you placed a /!c1 on the command line for ACCENT.COM. When I saw this, I assumed you had an external Accent. So everything looked ok to me. However, now that you say you have the internal you should be using /!l3. Now your going to tell me you did use a /!l3 on the command line as it shows above. But here it comes Walter, you should have removed the /!c1. Only one of these is allowed at a time and Vocal-Eyes will only use the first one on the command line. Therefore it is still trying to use COM1 instead of LPT3. The Accent line should be exactly!!!!!! ACCENT /!L3 I am sure this will work Walter. This is because the internal ACCENT communicates to the outside world through LPT3 but you told the Vocal-Eyes ACCENT driver to communicate to it through COM1. All thoses speech bits were flotting out your serial port instead of to the Accent. Give this a try and I am sure it will work. Good luck!
