I rarely get this problem on my normal pc (single processor 200 MHz Pentium w/NT Workstation) so I was trying to figure out if it was happening on the other machine because of the version of NT or the dual processors. So far I've managed to deduce that opening Excel makes the problem go away -- although I have NO idea why!!! Dragon Systems seems to think that switching to NT Workstation might help, although I know NT is not their main concern so I figure I'm really on my own with this. My concern is that if I keep the dual processor machine I'll put NT Workstation on it, but if I'm not happy with it we'll leave NT Server on it. So right now I'm experimenting to see if I can live with it as is. Shutting down the app DragonDictate thinks is "Generic" doesn't fix the problem, I have to reboot (or start Excel, this deserves some more experimentation, though).


Thanks,
Jamie

far!) and am getting "Generic Window" for the vocabulary in MS DevStudio and
MS Word. I don't see how this could be related to the dual processors
(although anything is possible) so I'm wondering if it is because of NT Server.

>Hello Jamie,
this is not occurring just because of NT server, I get it on my PC
which is just running NT. If you remember, Dana also had this problem.
I find it occurs when I have shut all applications and so DD does not have
a focus. It also seems to occur randomly (but rarely) when applications
have just been opened. I find there is no way to make DD recognise these
applications other than by shutting and reopening them. Sometimes I think
this happens more when I have limited resources, but as it just happened to me
this morning when I only had opened one programme I'm not sure that holds!
Are you finding that this happens consistently with your applications,
or just occasionally?


I do wonder if there is some interaction with the network software...
since we types who are using NT are more likely to be on a highly active
network than people logging in from home on their windows 95 machines.
