This error is caused by the "Speech and Handwriting Recognition" feature
of MS Office. You can turn this feature off by going to the Add/Remove
Programs applet in Control Panel. Click on the entry for MS Office and
then on "Change". Browse to "Office Shared Features," "Alternative User
Input," and make Speech and Handwriting Recognition (both) "Not
available" from the drop-down box.

As for the system being slow, run through these troubleshooting steps:

1) Scan in Safe Mode with current version (not earlier than 2003)
antivirus using updated definitions;

2) remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy
(www.safer-networking.org) and Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com). These
programs are free, so use them both since they complement each other.
There is a new version of CWShredder from
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract..._download.html. I would
not install the other Intermute programs, however. Alternately, there
are CoolWebSearch malware removal steps at
http://www.silentrunners.org/sr_cwsremoval.html. A combination of
HijackThis and About:Buster (http://www.majorgeeks.com) works well in
removing homepage hijackers. Always read the instructions before
running a spyware removal tool. Be sure to update these programs before
running, and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode.
Make sure you are able to see all hidden files and extensions (View tab
in Folder Options);

3) If you are running Windows ME or XP, you should disable/enable System
Restore because malware will be in the Restore Points. With ME, you
must disable System Restore completely. With XP, you can delete all but
the most recent (presumably clean) System Restore point from the More
Options section of Disk Cleanup (Run>cleanmgr).

4) delete temporary and Temporary Internet Files;

5) stop unnecessary services/programs from starting with Windows - see
www.blackviper.com for services info and
www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm for programs info;

6) look in Event Viewer for clues;

7) make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security
patches. Do not install driver updates from Windows Update;

8) run a firewall.
