I cannot get it to write on any document--I use

i had this problem when i was using mine on XP, there is a certain program that you have to write on and you insert it into the text document. I have since upgraded to vista and 7 so i am not sure of the program but i believe it was called writing pad. it should be already on the system. i am not sure if it comes with all versions of XP, i had media center edition and there was a there was a icon on the taskbar that also dealt with speech. again i am not sure whether this comes with all editions of XP so this may not help at all. hope you get this working.
