voice attack will not work

[Wayne78]

I downloaded voice attack trial version a few weeks ago and it worked fine so I bought it and as soon as a I registered it then it stopped working. I started getting an improper shutdown message and now no matter what I do I cannot get it to open. I tried running as an administrator. I uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I even deleted the user folder and done a fresh reinstall and registration. Nothing. I also made sure that my antivirus program wasn't blocking it. This is what is in my fault folder:

There appears to be an issue with your filesystem.

This topic on the same error outlines some steps you can try.

[Wayne78]

thank you i'll take a look and try it.

[Wayne78]

i figured it out by accident. It was the speech recognition software. It was not setup for the new microphone I got. It was giving me an error also until I changed the advanced settings. Now VA is working fine. Sorry for wasting anyone's time.

Can you detail the steps you took to resolve this issue?

It's possible whatever you did rewrote some speech recognition files; knowing how to trigger that may help someone in the future.
