Invalid Voice Pilot Macro Hangs System (122941)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Sound System 2.0
Microsoft Windows Sound System 2.0a

This article was previously published under Q122941

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use a Switch To macro created with the Voice Pilot feature of the Windows Sound System, your system may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the name of the application that the macro is to switch to is placed outside the square brackets surrounding the words "Switch To" as in the following example:

   [Switch To]
   Notepad

This frequently occurs when "Switch To" is selected from the Special Command menu, rather than being typed in manually.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, place the name of the application inside the square brackets as follows:

   [Switch To Notepad]
