I am trying to use Windows Media Player 10 with the software and it is not working.

If you have Windows Media Player 10 installed on your computer, you may experience some difficulty using the software. You may correct the issue immediately by uninstalling the player. We are aware of the issue and will provide a patch in the next few days on our website. Please check back for the update and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

SpeaK! doesn't detect that my computer is connected to the internet (I can't register, or I can't import stories, etc.).

Open Internet Explorer, go to menu Options, select tab Connections, click on button Lan settings. In the panel Automatic configuration, you should make sure that the option Automatically detect settings is not selected.

I have Microsoft Windows NT. When I try to install SpeaK!, the setup displays a message "Not enough free space" and then aborts.

Go to DOS and type SET. See if TEMP is set as an environment variable. If TEMP is set, then see where TEMP is set to, and make sure that the location exists (i.e. if it does not exist, manually create this folder).

As soon as I start the installation, I get the error message "Error -1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time".

This is an Installshield known issue. Please navigate to this page to solve it.

What are the basic computer requirements for using SpeaK! ?

PC or compatible Pentium Processor 450 MHz or more. Windows 98 SE, Millenium, NT, 2000 or XP. Memory RAM 128 Mo. (256 Mo. recommended) Disk space available 350 Mo. Standard Microphone headset. Browser Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or above.

When should I calibrate the microphone ?

The Microphone should be calibrated prior to beginning a new session to ensure SpeaK! provides accurate feedback regarding your pronunciation.
