Vista - SpeechSynthesizer.SpeakAsync stopped working

I have been using the System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer in an app
I've been playing around with. As the app was running and a call to
SpeakAsync was executing, my computer was suddenly turned off. Now,
SpeakAsync does not work anymore. The Speak method works, but SpeakAsync
does not. I have made a separate test app to verify this problem and found
it to be real.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report a bug (or whatever you
might call this issue), so please let me know if I should repost elsewhere.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this w/o reinstalling the WinFx libraries?

Thanks,
Josh Smith

Hello,

Did you manage to make the method SpeakAsync work again?
I have the same problem as you.If in my app I make a call to SpeakAsync
nothing happens (it was a time when this method worked ok,now only Speak
works).
In my case I had running an app in which It was called SpeakAsync and I had
to restart the computer while the app was running and from then the
SpeakAsync is not working.
Can someone help me?
thanks,
lidia

No, I have not figured out a way to fix this issue. If you find a way,
please let me know.
