Problems with Speech program

[Guest]

I have a new microphone and for some odd reason when I open speech to locate
the speech recongnition tab it is not there, only the text speech part with
Microsoft Sam, what do I do to resolve this problem?

What speech recognition program are you using? XP only has the
text to speech MS Sam under Accessories.

Well I have the original with XP, but I read on another post that you can get
the recongition through MS Office, but I can't find that anywhere. But even
still I am trying to get my mic to work and nothing is working through the
sound recorder, but all the tests come through as passing, is this because of
the recongnition system, or is it something else?
