problems with Dragon Dictate and Windows 2000 (was [VG] Extremely sorry)

[David Holden <http://www.yahoo.co.uk/~davidholden_uk>]

Sorry, it is several weeks since I have used
DragonDictate on the Windows 2000 portable, so I am
struggling to remember all the problems (also blood
pressure tablets are making may tired-good excuse!).

The main problem, for me, is that no mouse dragging
commands work on a Visual Basic form (works with
Naturally Speaking).  Sometimes when the mouse is
moving, there is a delay in any further mouse
commands, meanwhile the mouse keeps moving!  At least
it is sometimes, on Windows NT it was virtually all
the time.

No menu tracking on the Start Menu.

If a voice macro has errors, the usual dialogue box
appears, if you request further details, Dragon
crashes.

Alternatively, whenever DragonDictate generated
crashes on Windows 95, it was unusable, on Windows
2000, Dragon has remained usable after
crashes!However, I do not recommend this, since I
always restore my voice files after any Dragon or
visual basic crash and have therefore dramatically
reduced unexplained Dragon crashes.
