Stopping Voice recognition....permanently

Amram · 02-20-09, 11:31 PM

I don't use the voice recognition, and its driving me insane. If i don't have a mic attached, and configured, i can't even goto the options, the instant i open the options screen, i get tabbed out cause the configure voice rec. wizard pops up, and i can't stop it.

I go into the options when its configured, and windows says, oh, look, a voice rec. app, and launches the monitor, and, thanks to that, im tabbed out, so i close it, and it launches again, if i ignore it, i can't do anything int he options screen, its like im not in options anymore.

I can't find any option to completely disable voice recognition, and its driving me insane, i don't want it running, i don't even want it on my system, yet, i appear to be stuck, so, i've registered in the hopes someone can help, how do i stop DW from EVER asking for it or causing windows to offer it.

I don't recall the game doing this to me last time i played it, which was a while ago, but then im not sure what version it was, im currently fully patched. No mods atm, still relearning the game.

Fresh install of Vista 64 Ultimate SP1(less than 3 weeks in)
drivers all under 3 weeks old
no malware/viruses
All new hardware with no issues as yet.

DangerousWaters.ini
[Sound]
.DisableSoundSupport No
.DisableSounds No
.SoundVolume 65
.DisableMusic No
.MusicVolume 65
.DisableVoice No
.VoiceVolume 90
.DisableAmbient No
.AmbientVolume 35
.DisableRoomBG No
.Disable3DSound Yes
.AllowVoiceRec No
.AlwaysOnVoiceRec No
.UseSpecialFX Yes
.MaxPingVolume 70
.SpeechLoadMode 0
.SoundLoggerOn 0

Do i want to delete the voice.ini and voicereco.dll files from in the interfaces folders for each platform to achieve this? Or would this likely generate errors and/or crashes?

And before anyone asks, no, i have neither interest no concern for the loss of voice commands, at the moment i have a seething hatred of its insistence that i acknowledge it. So, before i break my keyboard, or DW's discs, any thoughts on how to kill this feature?
