This sample loads its character from an HTTP URL,
so you must be connected to the WWW and be able to
reach the server at http://agent.microsoft.com,
or the sample will not work properly.

If you have never installed the Lernout & Hauspie TTS Engine,
you will be prompted to install it. Without the TTS Engine,
characters will not produce speech output.
