--- Comment #2 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2007-12-09 18:48:28 --- With current git, reverting that patch ( 728e5fa55966987c3a2fdc96d8890987eb7b7e9d ) fixes the crash. DNS 8 can go through initial training. Recognition is ok in Dragonpad.
[For completeness: to install, I used winetricks fakeie6 vcrun6 gdiplus and also installed word 97 viewer. Maarten's ALSA patches now in git seem to have done the trick; I no longer have to switch to OSS or pause and resume all the time. Unlike DNS 9, recognition doesn't work in Notepad; one sees zillions of lines like err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR71.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\ScanSoft\NaturallySpeaking8\Program\dd10HOOK.dll") not found *from notepad*. 'winetricks vcrun2005' doesn't seem to help that. Also, like all other versions I've tried, the tip window shown on startup (with helpful hints) is blank. If you click on 'next tip', that text is drawn, so it's probably just a windows message ordering problem or something.]
