SYMPTOMS
If the Control Panel item Speech is open when you try to start a Microsoft .NET-based service that uses the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI), you receive the following error message:

The  service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you can run the service in the context of the LocalSystem account instead of in the context of the LocalService account. Alternatively, you can run the service in the context of the Administrator account.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
