I have a Dell Dimension E521 with an AMD 3200+ processor and 4 GB of RAM.
When I run Speech Recognition, using a Plantronics CS50-USB microphone, I get
a lot of mistakes, and sometimes it takes several seconds for the words to
appear on the screen (if they appear at all). After running the software a
while, it becomes erratic, giving totally unrelated words or asking "what was
that?" repeatedly. I can't get Dragon NaturallySpeaking to work with Vista
at all. Since I'm a quadriplegic, I really need recognition software. Can
some Vista-literate user help me troubleshoot?

It's possible the USB port is timing out on Power Management settings.
Control Panel/Device Manager/USB Root Hub(s)/Properties/Power Management
tab. I would also crank up the Gain on the Mic.
