I think I broke my Dragon Assistant...

Not a huge problem, but I still want to fix it...
So I tried Dragon Assistant out for the first time yesterday, and I updated it from 1.5 to 3 since it told me to, and I was like why not...
It was still working fine after the update, but after updating it, I started to tinker with my PC (Lenovo Flex 14) to try to fix the Wifi and Bluetooth issues that I had. After installing a new driver for Intel Bluetooth (3.1.1309 to 3.1.1311), Bluetooth stopped working completely...
So I tried a system restore to fix my bluetooth driver (I don't know why I did that...big mistake) and I restored it to the time right before I updated Dragon to version 3.
After doing that, I noticed that Dragon stopped working...not even the uninstaller (missing unins000.msg). So since my bluetooth didn't get fixed after my system restore...I decided to undo the restore.
So, yeah a long story, but now I need help. Now when I try to open Dragon, it says there was an error reading the language pack and that I need to reinstall it, but I don't know how...
Can anyone help me?

Here's a repost from what I put in another thread:
For anyone that had trouble updating the Dragon Assistant, or if you lost the program outright with the upgrade to Windows 8.1, here is the link to the latest version (1.1.19) of the Dragon Assistant Core: http://dragonassistantcontent.nuance.com/release-1.1.1/1.1.19/Dragon%20Assistant%20Core%201.1.19.exe
Download the latest version (1.5.17) of the program application here: http://dragonassistantcontent.nuance.com/release-1.1.1/1.5.17/Dragon%20Assistant%20Application%20Upd...
In order for the update to install, you have to delete any prior versions of the application.  If none of this works and you want to be adventurous, you can download a complete program install with the following 762MB file (note: it "may" be vendor specific to Dell, but the worst that can happen is it won't install): http://dragonassistantcontent.nuance.com/installer-dell/da_1.5.0_en-US_Dell.exe
Hope it helps!

  • Yoga 2 Pro/i7/8GB​/512SSD Dragon Assistant and other (software) issues

    Hi all,
    I've been playing with my new Yoga 2 for a week now. I like how light, fast and quiet the machine is. I do however feel the machine is kind of buggy and wanted to see if anyone else was having similar issues. Windows 8.1 makes me feel like an idiot but I'm slowly learning how to customize everything to my liking. On to the issues:
    1. I tried to download the Dragon Assistant installer and the installation didn't work properly. Now I can't find the installer anywhere on my computer to relaunch it. I am able to find it when I'm in control panel/uninstall program but I only have the option to uninstall from the machine, not repair it. Where the heck is the dang installer?!?
    2. I wasn't able to download iTunes, after a few unsuccessful tries I went to an online forum and someone having the same issues posted an alternative link for the download and that seemed to have done the trick.
    3. I have duplicate apps listed under my start pin, like the Lenovo phone compainon is listed under two different sections and it's driving me NUTS!
    4. My screen seems to flicker everyonce in awhile, is this common with other Yoga 2 users?
    I guess I'm trying to find out if others have had the same issues as I have, if there are solutions to the issues and if I should ultimately return the machine because it's faulty and try to get another one.
    Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    emeria & Dream2300...
    Would you describe the "flickering" as though the panel brightness was stepping up (or down) a number of steps in very small increments? If so, what you may be seeing is the adaptive brightness feature at work. I have disabled it on my Y2P and see no flickering.
    If you go into the advanced settings of your power plan, look for the Display settings near the bottom. Expand the tree and check the Adaptive Brightness settings. You may also want to check the Power section under the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. Check the Display Power Saving Technology item under the On Battery heading. Mine is set to Off.

  • Dell Inspiron 7000 - Dragon Assistant 3.0 Software Missing?

    I purchased a 15.6" Dell Inspiron 7000 Laptop on 1-10-15 and it was supposed to come wiht Dragon Assistant, Voice Recognition Software pre-installed.  It is NOT, however anywhere on this machine.  It is advertised as being on the Laptop - both in the store, and on bestbuy.com.  The following is the Laptop information:
    Model: I7547-3020SLV
    SKU: 8733845
     I do NOT wish to return this system because I have already spent hours setting it up and tranferring files from my old system.  Is there some download or a CD that you can send me?  Thank you!

    Hi danbon94,
    I’m sorry to hear that your Dell laptop doesn’t have the Dragon Assistant installed as it should have. We entrust the manufacturers to deliver their devices to us with all of the appropriate pre-installed software. I greatly appreciate you sharing this information with me in regards to your Dell laptop, as it is concerning if devices are not arriving with all of the software advertised.
    While the easiest way for us to correct this would be to process an exchange in hopes the new laptop would come with the software, I completely understand why you wouldn’t want to do that. In my experience, it can take some time to set up a new computer to your exact specifications and transfer any existing files from a previous computer.  Please know I’m sending you a private message to gather further information in regards to your purchase and to see what options we may have for you. You may check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Dragon Assistant Update Failure

    I was setting up Dragon Assistant, and the program told me that an update was available.  I clicked on Update, and the program uninstalled itself, but failed to reinstall an updated version.  The Dragon Assistant "application" folder is now empty.  I tried running the update exe application from nuance dragon assistant folder in windows explorer, but the update exe could not find the files it needed to run.  Repair" is not listed as an option for Dragon Assistant in the "Programs and Features" control panel.  So -- how do I restore Dragon Assistant to my machine?  Thanks.

    Hello. This is Benoit from Nuance Communications. We are aware of this issue and are in the process of telling Lenovo and Intel about what can be done to fix it. For now, we have the following solution to propose.
    If the update of Dragon Assistant to version 1.5.15 fails, try to do the following:
    Type Windows-R, enter the following command, and press enter:
    "%TEMP%\a-Dragon Assistant Application Update en_US 1.5.15.exe"
    If that doesn't work, download the following file, and run it:
    http://dragonassistantcontent.nuance.com/release-1.1.1/1.5.15/Dragon%20Assistant%20Application%20Upd...
    Once this is done, we recommend that you run the Dragon Assistant Updater tool prior to starting Dragon Assistat again. You can find it in the Start screen by typing "Dragon Assistant Updater".
    Please reply here if you still have issues with the Dragon Assistant update.

  • Iphoto--I think I broke it

    I just purchased the macbook with iphoto 6 and have never used iphoto before. I copied some of my pictures folders from my windows machine to the pictures folder. I then imported them into iphoto. I didn't know it would put everything into the library sorted by years and the last roll folder. I wanted the folders sorted the way I had them in the pictures folder. So, I proceeded to delete all 800 pictures by holding the delete key. Iphoto crashed three times while doing this. I then imported one folder and attempted to drag and drop the pictures into some albums I created in the source pane. Drag and drop wouldn't move the pictures. I restarted my computer and drag and drop started working but now select all does not select anything. I am selecting the last roll, clicking edit so the thumbnails appear then attempting to select all the thumbnails but select all only selects one picture. I tried shift-clicking to select a group of them. When I drag and drop it says I'm moving however many I have selected but when I click on the album I'm moving the pictures to, only one or two pictures have been moved. I tried rebuilding the photo library but that didn't solve the problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I don't think you broke iPhoto, but have you
    considered using the Help at all?
    1. To duplicate your folder structure in iPhoto,
    simply drag the folders to the Source (or left-hand)
    pane in iPhoto. There they will be automatically
    saved into Albums. If you start at the bottom of your
    folder structure, you can create the enclosing
    folders in iPhoto.
    2. When you tried to remove the 800 photos by using
    the delete key - well it might have been better to
    seclect them and move them to the iPhoto trash. Then
    got to the iPhoto menu and empty the trash.
    Now your photos are removed from iPhoto and the
    iPhoto library folder.
    3. When you're trying to operate drag and drop and
    select, first make sure your in the library, not in
    an album or smart album. Is it possible that you were
    trying to drag the photos into a place they already
    were?
    I have used help extensively but can't find the answer to my questions.
    No, not possible. I'm in the library attempting to select multiple photos and drag and drop into an album. I can drop them one at a time but I can't select all nor is it moving the number of photos indicated. For example, I selected 8 photos, dragged them to an album. A +8 appeared as I dragged the pictures but when I looked at the album there were only three pictures there.

  • Change Dragon Assistant Language

    I bought my IdeaPad laptop U430 in Belgium and the Dragon assistant is in its french version though I would like to have it in English....
    Any idea on how to change the language ?
    Thank you in advance,

    Can't believe this, but you would need to contact Lenovo to get the software again, as Dragon Assistant doesn't offer downloads.

  • Thinking of using Set Up Assistant with your new iMac...

    The story so far...
    The set up assistant was a nightmare, I plugged the iMac in, switched it on and straight away was asked if I would like to transfer information from another mac (about 40Gb), at this point I was thinking this is great I'll transfer everything and be up and running in about four hours. I opted to transfer all four options (User Accounts, Network Settings, Applications Folder and Files and Folders) clicked go and sat back believing that in the stated 3 hours and 20 minutes I would be up and running. One and a half hours into the transfer and it's flown through everything and it's telling me 'Less than a minute remaining' (the excitement is really building now). 45 minutes later and it's still saying 'Less than a minute remaining' so I decided to call India, sorry I mean AppleCare, and was told that I should give it another hour as the
    original time stated was over three hours so I gave it another two hours and 45 minutes (five hours in total) and I was still faced with the 'Less than a minute remaining'. It's time to call India again. I quoted the case number from the first call and 30 minutes later was still none the wiser except I was told how to get out of the transfer screen (just hold the power button for a couple of seconds) and that I should never try transferring Applications. I asked why I was given the option to transfer Applications if it's not advisable to do it and wasn't give any sort of reasonable answer.
    During the second call I was taken through the registration process (without using the transfer option) and once I was up and running I found that some of my files had been transfered but I wasn't sure how much. I decided to re-install the OS from the disc's and once I had started doing this I realised that the disc's were going to install over the top of the existing OS but I didn't want to stop the process just in case I screwed things up even more. We decide to go out for something to eat and come back to it later hopefully with a clearer head (I'd been at this for six hours now). When we get back I re-install for the second time but this time used the 'Erase and Install' option and this only takes about an hour. It also takes you right back to the welcome screen and I choose to transfer from another mac again but uncheck
    the Applications option. Set up assistant works brilliantly this time and all I have to do is download things like Acrobat, Messenger, etc. Everything is on there that I wanted so when I open Acrobat for the first time all my settings are in there the same is true with everything else I download. It's very useful having the PowerBook next to the iMac to cross check what I need. I finish at 1:30am, what a day.
    I am currently writing this on the PowerBook not because of any problems with the iMac but because I can't get the wife off of it now. Out of interest the 500Gb hard drive originally read 465Gb available and once everything was on the iMac there was 425.18Gb available compared to the 1.44Gb available on the PowerBook. Mmmmm, lots of space to play with.

    As long as you don't try and take your app's across you should be OK. I think the Apple app's are OK to transfer, it's just the 'third party' app's apparently Adobe is a classic case. They don't store thing's where the mac would expect to find them so even if you can get them across you end up re-installing anyway.
    Good luck and if you can please post to let us know how you get on.

  • I think I broke my CD drive...

    Broken Cd drive + finals week approaching=not good
    Here's the deal:
    I was ejecting a Cd, and I think something was blocking it, so it could not get out. There was a loud clicking noise.
    Now, the cd drive does not take cds. I am able to insert them, but usually it "takes" the cd without me having to push it all the way in. Now it doesn't "take" cd's, and everytime I turn on my computer, there is an awful clicking noise in the disk drive. If I manually push a disk all the way in, the drive will not eject it unless I restart and hold down the eject key.
    I seriously doubt it's something I can fix myself, and it's probably really expensive to replace a drive.
    Does anyone know how much it costs? Would it be cheaper to buy an external burner?
    I know someone will ask, so I will say it now - No, I do not have applecare or any sort of warranty to my knowledge. I bought this computer used on Ebay, but it's been wonderful until now.
    I can't believe I broke my drive
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #88275 on Troubleshooting the slot load disc drive (Portables). I don't know how much it will cost because we don't know what happened. The only people who can really tell you how much it is going to cost you is an Apple Certified Technician from your local Apple Store/Reseller.
    Buying a external burner will probably be cheaper then having it replaced.

    Couple of things to try. Can you boot off the net or CD/DVD ? I noticed that you have disk and disk0 to be same. You mention that you mirrored root. Do you know what the other disk was ? If so you can try booting the other disk.

  • Think I broke Windows MBR.

    Before I start, I'm on a iMac 27' late 2013.
    After trying to fix a 'non-genuine' Windows message, I cannot boot into Windows 7 anymore. From what I have researched so far, they said that the 'fix' messed up the MBR, and that I needed to run the bootrec commands to fix it. I created a windows installation USB drive using the Bootcamp Assistant, only to find my keyboard and mouse not working in the installation screen.
    It does let me select 'Windows' during startup, but am only presented with a blinking cursor for a couple of seconds before it restarts.
    It does not show up in the 'Startup Disk' utility.
    I've pasted the results of the commands that Loner T has suggested other people with similar problems.

  • Going insane - I think I broke my system!

    I'm totally freaking out right now. I was resizing my partition via GParted on SystemRescueCD and I think I deleted everything on my Linux partition when I accidentally cancelled! Oh my gosh I need that stuff (I don't have an external backup!). My dad has all his students' things on there he needs.
    How can I fix this? Grub gives me like error 2 or something. I'm on a Puppy livecd at the moment. I'm freaking out more than I can ever remember freaking out. Please help if you can!
    (Kubuntu 7.10, gnome installed too)

    sajro, that sounds awful... Anyway, I have never heard of anyone cancelling a resize (not that I've heard that much, so don't read too much into that), so I have no idea in what state a system like yours could have ended up in. If you're lucky (well...) only the partition table was killed. Maybe TestDisk can do something for you? Or Foremost. I have never used these tools myself, but have heard good things about them. For instance, recently there was a thread where an unfortunate dd command was rectified with TestDisk. Before you start fiddling with these tools, it is important to make a complete copy of the ruined disk, in case you fail on your first try to fix it.

  • I think I broke my mini

    I decided to install Linux (PC Linux OS) along side Mac OS X because... I wanted to. I booted my mac mini into a PCLOS live CD and installed it on an external firewire drive. When it was done installing it said something about doing something to a bootloader, which is where i think the problem lies. When I shut down my computer the PCLOS disc ejected, and when I turned it on i got a flashing "?" mark on a folder, meaning my mac wont boot from its internal HDD. I put in my OSX install disc and formatted the internal HDD and then reinstalled OSX, but it still wont boot into OSX. Also now the OSX disc wont come out.
    Now I really don't care about installing PCLOS on this machine. Can any one help me get my OSX back? Please?
    -Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi
    I would try smc and pram first, if won't help then start from Leopard install disc and go Disc Utility. There you can format the HD in zeros and then install os again. It may be helpful:

  • Help. I think I broke my Muse...

    Good morning! In my attempt to set up my domain this morning, I broke my site. Earlier, I had changed my Adobe ID info, now Muse doesn't recognize my site when uploading it, nor to I have access to my BC dashboard or am I able to directly login through the browser. Any help would be fantastic.

    Hi,
    I got your email and I have made some changes in the backend after which, when I logged into Muse, using the [email protected] and tried to publish and this what I got,
    I didn't try to publish anything as that would change the site content. Please try to publish and let me know if that works.
    Alternatively, try to deactivate and re-activate Muse from the Help menu and post any queries or the error that you get, if possible with the screen shots.
    Regards,

  • Soooo I think I broke my iphone...

    Okay so about seven months ago I dropped my iphone 4 off a carnival ride (clever, I know) and it completely smashed the back. I lived with it until about a month ago when I paid $120 to replace the front and back screens as well as the jammed power button. I didn't have the money to buy a new phone mid-plan. Everything was fine, I even paid $60 for an Otterbox so my phone would be more well protected. And suddenly about a week ago the light on my iphone wouldn't go off. I did everything I could and nothing worked. The phone overheated and then shut off. Now it only turns on when plugged in and it says "searching..." and can't find the service. It also thinks it's 7:01 pm on Wednesday December 31st. It shuts off and turns back on again every few minutes. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I have no warranty and I don't get an upgrade until May. My dad is taking the next upgrade even though my phone is already two years old. Am I just out of luck or...? I need to know, I really don't have any other way of communicating. Thanks.

    Your iPhone got smashed (and most likely damaged) and then it got serviced six months later by an unauthorized service provider. What did you expect to happen?
    Your phone is useless.
