Hi Desparate in Charlotte,
The only way I have discovered is to uninstall the Speech Recognition. From
Windows XP help:
===============================================
How to remove speech recognition
To remove speech recognition as a text service, follow these steps: 1. Click
Start, click Control Panel, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional and
Language Options, and then click Regional and Language Options.
2. On the Languages tab, click Details under Text services and input
languages.
3. Under Installed services, click Speech Recognition under the language
that you are using, and then click Remove.
Note If you remove speech recognition, it is not deleted from your computer.
Instead, speech recognition is no longer available as a text service and it
is prevented from loading into memory. You can add it again later.
To remove the speech recognition engine from your hard disk, follow the
instructions in the program that it was installed with, or use the Add or
Remove Programs utility in Control Panel.
=================================================
Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
Julie
