Failure to initialize TTS

[waltpop 26]

Using Prepar3DDv4.2 from now on. I am trying to get MCE working with v4.2 but when I go so start MCE I am getting  the error "Failed to initialize TTS" them MCE stops working. Any Ideas of what I need to do? Thanks Walt

Just in case you're using a very old MCE version, suggest you update to latest 

Might be something to do with a specific TTS voice of yours.

You don't need to use any TTS voices. We provide 10 human recorded voice packs (3 come with the Demo and 7 are free downloads).

Restore MCE to factory settings.

Start->All Apps->Multi Crew Experience->Restore factory settings.

That will set MCE to use the default human recorded voices.

You'll be prompted to go through the wizard. No need for speech training though.

MCE should be able to start in that coinfiguration.

Eventually go to <Command> tab, select "TTS voices" to list any installed 32 bit voices and try to assign one to any crew member.

See if it fails and report which voice (Name and manufacturer).
