OK, System Resources start getting eaten up. Tell us, what kind of computer in terms of CPU, RAM and operating system? What other applications are running at the same time?
 
Have you tried the same Wikipedia pages with WSR on a different computer? If so does it work for you on a different computer?

"Still doesn't work" isn't a lot of detail to go on. What does happen when you say "Show Numbers?"

Then try saying the link name or saying "show numbers" again.

Show numbers works perfectly for me on the linked page.  The numbers flash and I can choose any one of them.  It takes maybe a second for the command to be activated and the link to be transferred.  Something else must be going on in your system.

You need to wait until this scanning process is complete before you can click a link. If you start saying a link any sooner, all you'll get is the dreaded orange "What was that?" indication.

So try a little patience for the scanning process to complete before saying a link. Does this help? If not, could you provide some example Wikipedia pages that are giving you problems?

For example, this page.

EpsilonVector,

Many Wikipedia pages contain thousands of links, and as you scroll down or up through a page, WSR is scanning the links to keep up with what you might want to click on. It's frantically trying to stay ahead of what you might say so it can react properly and click a link for you when you say a link.

You can tell when the scanning process is going on because the lower-right corner of the WSR feedback area shows a blue circle; when the blue circle disappears, the scanning process is complete, and you can say one of the links that you want.

Try this: open up one of the Wikipedia pages that is giving you problems, and pay attention to the WSR feedback area while you're doing this. Did you see the blue circle in the lower right corner of the WSR window? Say "page down" to move down the page, and watch how the blue circle appears again to indicate that WSR is scanning the links. Then the blue circle disappears again.

You need to wait until this scanning process is complete before you can click a link. If you start saying a link any sooner, all you'll get is the dreaded orange "What was that?" indication.

By the way, this scanning process is supposed to be significantly faster in Windows 7.

So try a little patience for the scanning process to complete before saying a link. Does this help? If not, could you provide some example Wikipedia pages that are giving you problems?

Here is the Wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Services_Framework
 
It starts off with:
"The Text Services Framework (TSF) , is a COM framework and API in Windows XP and later Windows operating systems that supports advanced text input and text processing. The Text Services Framework is designed to offer advanced language and word processing features to applications. It supports features such as multilingual support, keyboard drivers, handwriting recognition, speech recognition, as well as spell checking and other text and natural language processing functions. It is also downloadable for older Windows operating systems.[1]"
