[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1224119, member: 193366"] Happy Easter Gents! :) I wish I knew the answer - but obviously I do not. The closest I was able to get was the 'fix' that worked for 10.5.8 - as you've already seen. I was hopeful even then that one of our Mac OS X experts could weigh in and take it further. I've been using Mac OS X for all of about 3 months now. :) In the interest of providing further potential leads to follow - one might assume that this capability is built upon the mechanisms which support the 'say' command in Mac OS X - which uses the Mac OS X Speech Synthesis engine and I'm assuming the troublesome apps in question invoke the Synthesis APIs described here [url=http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/SpeechSynthesisProgrammingGuide/SpeechOverview/SpeechOverview.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004365-CH3-SW6]Speech Synthesis Programming Guide[/url]. I guess you could always experiment with eliminating the speech synthesizers located here /System/Library/Speech/Synthesizers - but I don't know if that would just cause a recurring error or if there's any way to disable that API completely. Maybe one of our resident Mac OS experts can carry this further. Yes - I don't think many people use Front Row - and I believe I read that Front Row will disappear with Lion . [/QUOTE]
