Can't get Speech.X32 to access SAPI 5.4 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

Question

I can't seem to get the Speech.X32 to work in a Director 10.1 projector or in Shockwave on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. It works fine on XP and Windows 7 32 bit, but not on Windows 7 64 bit. I placed the following script in first frame of movie. On all machines it says it is available.
on beginsprite
    if voiceInitialize() then 
alert "Text-to-speech is available"
    else
        alert "Text-to-speech is not available"
    end if
end
However, I imagine this is just referring to the Xtra, not to the Microsoft SAPI. I can go into the accessibility features of the Windows 7 64-bit machine and use the voice. It just won't work in my projector or shockwavae movies. I have seen a number of discussions from gamers about loosing access to the voice option on Windows 7 64 bit machines. But none seemed to offer any solution. Any ideas?

Yes, we currently run it on a Dell Precision Rackmounted 64 Bit system and capabilities are fine.
