Please, go easy on the caps. It is very irritating to read a message that feels like a stern lecture.

To access Microsoft Voice Command (MSVC), go to start -> settings -> personal -> buttons. Under "Button", make sure "Hold Speak" is selected (it is the first one on the list). Then at the bottom where it says "2. Assign a program:" scroll down the list until you see "Voice Command. Press the OK button.

Now back at the today screen, press and hold the lower-left key on the keyboard (the speakerphone icon directly under the "Fn" key. You will hear a 2-tone beep and see a microphone icon in the taskbar. Voice Command is listening. Say "what can I say" in a clear voice and follow the verbal prompts. I suggest starting with "what can I say" and after she lists the possibilities then say "start menu".

See page 1 of this thread for instructions on how to make your bluetooth headset activate MSVC instead of TellMe.
