I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem that has me stumped.
In a nutshell, I've got a new computer, and I've transferred an extensive set of WSR Macros from my old computer running Windows 7 to the new computer running Windows 8/8.1. I put about ten .wsrMac files into the SpeechMacros folder with no problems, but three .wsrMac files cause Windows Speech Recognition to crash with a "Speech Recognition has stopped working" error message.
I've uploaded one of the problem files here if you'd like to try it:
uploads/75/FirefoxChrome.wsrMac - FirefoxChrome.wsrMac <<Link doesn't work. See example and more details below.
This file of macros has worked fine for a long time on Windows 7, and I'm stumped as to why it's giving me problems on both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Any ideas? Thanks.

Well, the forums on speechcomputing.com aren't there anymore, so I thought I might go ahead and re-document the problem here.
After some trial and error, I discovered that on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, WSR crashes when you attempt to create a WSR macro that has [itemOnScreen] inside of a <listenFor> statement. I have had to rework all of my macros to avoid using [itemOnScreen], which is a very useful capability of the WSR macro utility. I hope someday that Microsoft fixes this bug.
Here is a simple example of the problem. While in Internet Explorer, the macro below lets you say a link on a webpage followed by "in new window," and that link will be opened in a new window. Unfortunately, this no longer works.
