I recently got a new company computer running Windows XP Pro and I have full Admin Rights. I am trying to load Microsoft Streets and Trips 2010 and the Install seems to go smooth. At the end I get a message that states the Install was successful. When I try and start the app the first time I get this error "The Text-to-Speech component has encountered a problem. To repair the problem, reinstall Microsoft Streets & Trips." When I continue to open the app all is working fine except the Street by Street navigation. I have tried reinstalling the program but I always get the same error. Any Help?
Hi Mark,
Welcome to Laptop GPS World.
Could you please tell us what exactly is not working as expected.

When I create a route on the map with the GPS conected I get No spoken directions. The "Use Dynamic Turn View" is gray and not selectable. When I open the navigation pane it is blank. The GPS does follow the route on the map.
Mark, see if the following can help: http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/2789-no-audio-streets-trips-2010-a
When I go to the Control Panel and click on Speech I get nothing. It may be that Text-to-Speech was not loaded. I will check with our IT Department. Thanks

Under Windows Xp, if you want to verify if text to speech was installed correctly:
Go to control panel -> Speech. Then click on the "Text to Speech" (see picture) tab. You will see Microsoft Anna selected in the "Voice selection" box. Then press the "voice preview" button and you will heard the sentence from the box "use the following text to preview the voice". If it is working, you are in business. The only thing that could cause a problem later in S&T is that the voice option can be disabled in the options panel or muted in the full-screen navigation...
If the text to speech engine is not there on your system, S&T will install it. May be you don't have sufficient rights on your system to allow S&T to install the speech engine??? If you are at office, this could be the problem...
