Hi Guy's Have been trying to get through several start up procedures with this product and from what I've seen so far this is the best Co-pilot experience in a flight sim to date.I seem to have a problem with windows 7 speech engine executing applications outside of the game which in turn is causing flight sim to crash i.e."Start engine left" tends to open the start menu of windows and when I called out "Before start check please" the PC opened an Adobe version of the Before start check from the AOM. That kind of stuff.I've run the voice trainer seveal times and to no avail.I guess the reason for this post is to see if anyone knows how to rectify this problem/disable global voice commands etc. or have any hints or tips that can make this occur a little less.I only use voice recognition on this aircraft to date.Any advice would be much appreciated.RegardsMichael

Edited due to utterly total misreading.

The problem is that you have the actual W7 Speech program running, you don't need to start it or have it running to use it with fs2crew, shut it off completely. I had the same problem with the 737 voice commander, I thought you had to have the Windows software running.

What Ian said is correct."Windows Speech Recognition" must be "OFF" prior to loading Flight Simulator.Also, in the Windows Speech Recognition Properties page, there is an option called: "Run Speech Recognition at Startup".Make sure that is "UNCHECKED".You do not want Windows speech recognition running.Cheers,

Thanks Bryan and Ian.That has solved the problem.RegardsMichael
