See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823586/en-us "How to turn off
the speech recognition and the handwriting recognition features
in Office 2003".

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306537/en-us "How to install
and configure speech recognition in Windows XP". Someone as
knowledgeable as you should be able to figure out how to
uninstall from these instructions.

You still have not quoted the exact error messages you see on
your screen, and I can't see your screen from here.
