Save this file xpps2mouse.exe to your desktop. then double-click this file to install this fix. 

3. **No speech
You will need to:

Download Microsoft Speech API. Save sapi40.exe to your Desktop. Double-click sapi40.exe to install Microsoft Speech API.

Download the Microsoft Text-to-Speech installer. Save "mstts.exe" to your Desktop. Double-click mstts.exe to install Text-to-Speech (English) voices. 

4. Shortcuts to open the program disappear when logging in as different users.
Create shortcuts for each application. The IntelliTools applications are typically installed to their respective subfolders in the C:\ITOOLS folder. Put these shortcuts in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Intellitools Software. Delete any duplicate shortcuts.
