[Phatbox + Vista w/ Voice Prompts] -- How-to-guide.
I figured someone out there might find this guide useful. It basically allows you to use the 'voice prompts' in Windows Vista.
-------------------------------------------
How to Install PhatNoise Media Manager 3.76 with Microsoft Vista
This will allow you to use the `voice prompts' and install the AT&T Natural Voice engine
in Vista. This is needed to use the `Voice Prompts'.
Get your hacked AT&T Natural Voice .msi file:
I went to google and found a file that basically bypasses the operating system option
which looks for a specific operating system (vista wasn't out at the time).

Download PhatNoise Media Manager 3.76:
Again, google is your friend, http://www.phatnoise.com/
Now we need to set the permission on the .exe file we just downloaded:
1. Right-Click the exe, goto Properties.
2. Goto the Compatability tab.
3. Check that Windows XP SP2 is marked.
4. Run as Administrator needs to be checked also.
5. Click Apply, click Ok.
AT&T Labs' Natural Voices(tm) Desktop 1.2.1.msi
1)rename the hacked .MSI file from the beginning to the above name ^.
2)run the exe phatnoise media manager install program.
3)critical! when you see the `AT&T LABS' Natural Voiceâ„¢ Desktop 1.2.1.msi' file
in the folder (c:\Program Files\Phatnoise..\) replace and move the hacked version
that we downloaded earlier into that folder.
4)after the install finishes, set the pmm.exe (in c:\Program Files\Phatnoise..) file to run in
Windows XP `SP2 compatible mode'. As well as `Run As Administrator'. Make sure both
are checked.
Now you should have working `Voice Prompts' with your Phatnoise player using
Windows Vista

Re: [Phatbox + Vista w/ Voice Prompts] -- How-to-guide.
Hi, I have a few questions regarding the voice prompts. It appears I have Phatnoise Music Manager 1.87. I looked on their website and all they have for download is 3.92. Also I downloaded the AT&T hack and got an error right before it completes. I am running vista and the music plays fine in my 2000 A6, but the voice prompts do not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
