Carolyn's ViaVoice fix? **working link pg 7

[Emmy]

Harry, do you have a microphone of any sort? If not, it probably has nothing to use viavoice with.

[Harry]

There's an inbuilt one in my laptop. Please don't tell me I'm going to need to buy a headset to use this thing

[Natalie ?]

Same as me Harry, i click it and it sounds like its coming on and then doesnt lol Iv tried running the setup as admin too and running it as 98/2000 etc

Harry My mic is built into my laptop and works fine, it didn't affect the installation. Is yours a Windows 10? Maybe it doesn't work well on newer computers? I don't know for sure though :/

[Natalie ?]

Mines windows 10 too.. lol

[Harry]

Yep I'm windows 10

My mic is built into my laptop, and I also have windows 10. My viavoice works very well! I had to uninstall and reinstall my game a few times into the documents folder to get viavoice to work. Sometimes the game is just weird. Even with my viavoice working, some days it just stops and I have to fix it to get it running again. Babyz is an old game, so it does have some issues sometimes. But viavoice does work on Windows 10 for sure, and it does work with a built in microphone. It's just a process of trial and error! I don't have mine set to run any special way. For me, just having it in the documents folder works. But you may just have to try different things, uninstalling and reinstalling, and hopefully it'll work. I actually got mine to work smoothly by not running the viavoice setup. I know, that sounds odd. But I put my game into documents and just clicked the little microphone button, then clicked okay to the box that pops up. Or whatever the box says. I never ran the in game setup, because whenever I tried that in the past, it wouldn't work. Maybe try that?

Yeah, this game is very past it's sell by date but we just keep it in the fridge pretending we didn't see it and that it's still good

I'm still not certain really how I got it working, I tried it on my brothers computer but he's really impatient so he made me just copy all my files over and because I did that his ViaVoice never worked, still doesn't. 
I did try just copying my viavoice folder onto his but it did nothing, so it would be an install process which never shows up for me on Windows 10. I tried doing it when my ViaVoice started playing up (if the disc isn't in, it won't work, I have to adjust the mic every single time I play because it always reverts to only hearing really quiet things and I need it really high up so it can hear the TV really well so they're constantly just say there like  They must be so confused about their mums voice lmao)

I haven't tried this myself: 
windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows
but it could possibly work? I would only test it on viavoice and not babyz though, because they put a warning that it could delete data and stuff which doesn't sound promising especially for an old game

Omg I just sit my phone on my laptop where the mic is under, and I put music on so my kids never stop making faces. I can never talk loud enough for them to hear me very well, I have a very soft voice and talking loud isnt something I can do. So my kids probably think im MM omg
