The picture I posted is of the way the Language Bar *should* look - you had

appear on your desktop. *If that was so, then what the hell did *your*

My language bar that did but randomly stopped appearing said "EN
English (U.S.) on it and was a small long horzontal bar.


The more important icon to appear on it being the Microphone icon - and in
pressing on it - will automatically enable the Microphone (from it's
normally disabled status - you don't want it on all the time) and thereby
activate dictation when you do so while working in a compatible word
processing application (such as M$ Word).


This icon has yet to appear in any form anywhere taskbar or otherwise
for me.


If the microphone is not present - or not working - the icon won't show up
in the first place.

Can you tell me what happens when you open the "Speech" Control Panel, and
press on the "Configure Microphone" button?

Also, on the same page, you will need to use the "Train Profile" utility
(middle section) in order to make your peculiar voice characteristics
recognisable to the computer.

Can you tell me if you actually can use either the "Configure Microphone"
or the "Train Profile" buttons in the "Speech" Control Panel?

If you cannot, but the items exist in the "Speech" Control Panel, I suspect
your microphone is either not present or not working....

These items are not present anywhere as far as I can find. I know the
microphone is both present and working because I have recorded on it
and read the samples of the text the training program includes that it
followed as I spoke to the mircophone.

I double checked the settings you just refered to thru the run
shortcut i copied and pasted, only to find that both are set as you
describe. *The symbols you describe and refer me the the pic file of
show up nowhere on the taskbar or otherwise.
