No speech library in Vista

[Errel]

Hello guys,

First of all, I am new to this forum, so if a similar topic has already been started by someone else, I'm sorry but i couldn't find one.
So here's my problem.

I want to write an application in C# that uses the microsoft speech library, however it doesn't seem to be installed on my copy of Vista Ultimate.
After some research I found out that nothing that has anything to do with speech is working on my Windows. Even windows narratar prompts me about an unhandled exception (due to the missing speech library no doubt).

As far as i can tell, Microsoft Anna just isn't there

Has anyone ever seen this problem before? Because accoriding to google I'm the only person in the world who has it..

My specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate (English language pack) Latest version
.NET Framework 3.5
Core 2 duo 3.2 (if that's relevant)

Thanks in advance for your help,

René
