'Kid Pix would not run on our DellGX520’s.' An error message about the speechapi would appear but give the option to continue.After choosing continue, nothing would happen. Note:Kid Pix ran OK on our new XP Pro SP2 laptops. But we received the same speech api message but choosing continue would launch the program.(Neil: You must install sapi 4.0from the Kid Pix 3 CD to get the Kid Pix speech application to work.)
'Kid Pix would not run on our DellGX520’s.' An error message about the speech
After doing some searches onthe Internet we had some possible solutions:
1)Run the application in “compatibility mode”for Windows 98/ME
a.Locate the executable file for Kid Pix on the harddrive (not the shortcut) (it's in c:programsbroderbund)
b.Highlight the .exe and right-click, select properties
c.On the Compatibility tab select 'Run thisprogram in compatibility mode for Windows 98 / Windows Me'
Thisallowed the program to start -- but it started “upside down” on themonitor.
Moreresearch lead us to another possible fix:
2)After the program starts upside down press and holdCtrl-Alt and then the “Up” arrow.Thisis a Microsoft suggested fix.
Thisworked except when we exited the program the display settings had been reset to800 x 600 and any attempt to start Kid Pix failed – nothing happened it justdidn’t start.More research lead us to the following change:
3)Back to the “compatibility mode” settings as detailedin item 1 above; also select “Disable visual themes” under Display Settings.
Thisfixed the “upside down” problem (so we would no longer have to do the Ctrl-AltUp Arrow) but when exiting Kid Pix the display settings were still being resetto 800 x 600 and Kid Pix could still not be started a second time. Nextwe did 2 things that seem to have completely resolved the problem:
1)Upgraded the video driver to the latest version fromthe manufacturer (Intel) and reduced Hardware Acceleration on the videoadapter.
a.Right click a blank spot on desktop
b.Select Properties
c.Select settings tab
d.Select Advanced
e.Select Troubleshooting
f.We moved theHardware acceleration indicator one notch at a time to the left and then testedeach time finally settling on notch 3 of 6
(Neilnotes: moving the accelerator can cause many other programs not to functionproperly. You have to move it back to 'full' when done with Kid Pix. I recommend updating the videodriver first).
There’s another way to work with this“could not start a second time” problem…. When Kid Pix does not start up for a second time after exiting theprogram, hold down Alt-Ctl-Del keys to view TaskManager. Click “Processes” and look to see if one or more instances of KPD3.exeis still running. End those Processes to allow Kid Pixto start again.
Whatwe finally decided to do on each machine was perform the following steps inthis order:
1)Update the video driver
2)Decrease the hardware acceleration to the 3rdsetting
3)Apply the compatibly mode settings for Windows 98 andDisable visual themes.
4)Download and install the back level speech api so the students would not get the error message andhave to select “Continue” when starting the program (some of our youngerstudents aren’t reading yet).
The upside down thingappears to be caused by certain implementations of the Intel Extreme Graphicschipset; this is used in many budget computers by Dell and other white-boxmanufacturers.Basically, when the resolutiondrops to run KP it also mistakenly rotates the screen.
UNLESSyou disable screen rotation.For most people who aren't mounting theirmonitors to ceilings or on walls, Screen rotation isn't an essentialfeature.This beats throttling hardwareacceleration as there will be no performance hit.To do this (with an intel graphics
chipset):
1. Right click on thedesktop
2. Select Properties
3. Select'Settings'
4. Select'Advanced'
5. Select 'IntelGraphics Media Accelerator'
6. Press the'Graphics Properties' Button 7. Select 'Display Settings'
8. Uncheck the'Enable Rotation' tab.
KP3 will now run in thecorrect orientation.

Neil : This problem seems rather isolated to SOME manufacturer's video drivers, in particular, Intel Extreme graphic chips (we suspect) and XP Pro. Continue to look for UPDATED videodrivers from your computer's manufacturer. In the case of a recent error on my own Dell laptop, a recently released video driver cured a problem which other releases had not. The service pack updates from Microsoft may also contain 'the cure' as they are continually addressing problems that come to their attention.
