Fixing windows speech recognition macros

Are you being discouraged in creating custom scripts for Windows Speech
Recognition Macros by some dialog boxes? Well that's not a problem anymore. By
following the steps given below, it will easily solve the problems.

I first tried many steps mentioned on the net and also tried reinstalling it. I even
restored windows, but it was useless.

Then, when it didn't work, I tried creating a signing certificate. This solved the
problem.

To create a signing certificate, follow the given steps:

Step 1: Start Windows Speech Recognition


Step 2: Click on the arrow on the right hand corner of the taskbar

Step 3: You will see the sign of the WSR macros there in the hidden icons (two gears
in a blue text bubble)

(Mine is right in the taskbar)


Step 4: Right-click on it
Step 5: Select Security
Step 6: In the pop-up box, click on create signing certificate (With a blue and gold
shield beside it)
Step 7: On the dialog box, press yes (maybe your screen will go black, but don't
worry about it. It is just the screen shutting down for a moment to load the
information)

Step 8: Press OK on the dialog box that is titled creating new signing certificate
(Note if the security level is set to medium, If not, set it to medium)
Step 9: A dialog box will appear saying that a new signing certificate has been
created with the name (username/pc name) 001. For instance, if your pc name is
Joe, the signing certificate will be Joe001
Step 10: Thats all! You are done.

After some 10 or twenty signings, the certificate will become invalid SO you have to
do it again.

It will work. But none of the people on the net knew it, so I had to find it myself.

Believe me, not easy.
