No support for HS2 any more?

I don't see a thing for HS2 on the forum. I'll ask my question here and see if it gets answered.

For about 5 years I haven't been able to use Speaker on my Windows 7 machine. It answered to every sound. Car horn? "Yes?" Thunder? "Yes?"

The only advice I got on the forums was to delete Windows 7 and install XP. Obviously that wouldn't work.

Since I couldn't use Speaker I didn't want to invest in HS3. However, I've just switched to Windows 10 and thought I'd give it another shot.

I uninstalled speaker and reinstalled. I can't connect now. "Not Authorized". I'm set at Default/default. Have I forgotten something over the years or is this creature just going to continue to frustrate me.

Thanks
John
