voice command not announcing incoming calls

Mystery solved! I called myself a few times from my landline phone last night. One (or more) of the calls left a TSCCallerID.wav file in place and it works. Reading back through this thread, I see that someone pointed out that the TSCCallerID files are self-generating when you get calls. I just don't get calls that much. The phone part is definitely not my primary use for my TP.
So I'm good to go on the suggested reg fix.

So am I to understand that the fix is to repeatedly call yourself until it works?? I did the registry edits and that didn't work. In the Volatile folder there is no TSCCallerID.wav file. There are only a lot of files that start with XMEInst. What am I missing here?

Just checking: make sure you have Voice Command set to announce incoming calls in the VC settings (click "phone", "options", "announce incoming calls") as noted earlier in this thread. Otherwise it probably won't generate the wav file.
