HELP-my speech recognition shuts down

Hi folks,
When I first turn on the speech recognition utility it shuts down
repeatedly. I have to keep on turning it on like 60 times each time it shuts
down after encountering an error. Finally eventually it will "take" and stay
running. But this has become tiresome. Any suggestions? I dictate between
120-300 e-mails per day for work so I really NEED this to function properly
and am lost without it.
Thanks, Nancy

Thank you very much for your help and for taking the time to address my
concern Mark, but I'm afraid that was not the solution.

I guess I will just have to deal with it until one of the scheduled updates
takes care of the problem. Every time I encounter a difficulty when the
program shuts down I have the option to let Microsoft know if there's a
problem or to just close the program. I always opt to share my information
and error reports in the hopes that they will do something about it.

Best regards,
Duchess
