I am curious about having the Microsoft Agents on my system to pass time
away while I'm working on my system, I have Merlin, but when I click on him
to have him read a quote, he will show up and read it only in his baloon,
and not verbally speak, what might have I missed to make him talk? Or, when
I want Peedy to take his place, what? I've download the characters, but
they don't come alive when I run their program?
 
You may need to install/re-install the SAPI 4.0 speech runtime support.

Find the MS Agent Homepage and follow the list of requirements, you will
need the Lernaut and Hauspie speech engine (US English) and probably the
SAPI support to get the audio.

Where is the Merlin character coming from? A Script or some program?

By the way there is an agent newsgroup. There you may find the author or a
program called MASH (Microsoft Agent Script Helper) and what he doesn't know
about Agents probably isn't worth knowing.

If you use Visual Studio it's quite easy to add the AxAgent control to your
tools and use them in programs.
