Hello Nick, Probably the Microsoft Text-to-Speech software is missing on your system after the hard drive failure. The "Voice Announcement" feature of SatPC32 reqires these files to be installed on the PC. You can download the files for free, see the following links.

See also the FAQs file on my website www.dk1tb.d e (English page "Downloads").
Recently I myself got the same message after I had reinstalled Windows XP from the recovery CD. The CD didn't install a soundcard driver for a newer soundcard and I got no sounds at all from Windows XP.
