Trouble with DNS global commands after replacing computer's hard drive
Submitted by spartacus516 on Fri, 04/11/2008 - 00:59.
I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional Version for
several years. Recently, my hard drive crashed so I had to replace it
with a new one. I have a Dell Computer Pentium III with Windows XP.
When my computer trainer installed Dragon onto my new hard drive, I
noticed immediately that many of Dragon's global commands were not
executing consistently. Sometimes I have to repeat a command such
as "Press enter" three or four times before it works. The same applies
for the commands: "Move up", "Copy that", "Paste that", "backspace",
etc.
Dragon experiences these problems when used in Microsoft Word, Internet
Explorer, and even Outlook Express.
Dragon worked perfectly before I replaced my hard drive. Does anyone
out there know if there's anything that I can do to help Dragon execute
the global commands more consistently?

We Suspect Interference
Our best guess is that you are using an
inferior soundcard
and/or microphone
or suffering from interference. We recommend rerunning the Audio Setup Wizard
and pressing the Play button in the last stage to listen for possible
interference. We suspect the problem is your new integrated soundcard. We
typically recommend against integrated soundcards for just this reason.
Remember, NaturallySpeaking can only be as strong as its weakest link and
you're already taking one accuracy hit by using out-of-date software. Our 1st
recommendation would be to upgrade your soundcard (if our suspicions turn out
to be true) and our 2nd recommendation would be to upgrade to NaturallySpeaking
Pro 9.5.

To me it sounds like
To me it sounds like ctfmon.exe symptoms. Check in task manager if you have a process ctfmon.exe running, if so, kill it. You can read more about it, including how to remove it permanently, in thread http://www.speechcomputing.com/node/1352.
You were exactly right Per Haglund!
