I have this problem too on my Win 7 64 OS with Fs2Crew q400 voice control - other third party I.e ATCSimulator2, and Word all work fine, and yes, it is set up for English- US. Just how many of us are out there with this "System Mechanic" issue? Surely there is a workaround somewhere. (I uninstalled SM years ago - fixed speech recognition ( I forget how! ) and never looked back until installing Fs2Crew Q400. The error seems to be quite generic when searching on the error code for a solution - hence no luck so far. Have re- downloaded, re- installed, and really really tried to fix this myself. As SR is working for other apps I am extremely averse to re- installing Win 7 and many many gigabytes of FS9 and FSX (and the rest). This one really does seem to have fallen between the cracks.
