How do I access Microsoft Sam's text narrations on my new vista computer? (not the new narrator application)

Hi, I am looking for a way to simply highlight text and have it narrated back to me by familiar synthesized voices such as Microsoft Sam and Microsoft Mike from previous operating systems. I found the old program I used to use on XP on microsoft's website called "microsoft speech", but it is unable to install on vista. And the new program called narrator that's included on vista doesn't work like I want it to; it narrates menus that I click on, not text that I highlight in word processors, and its voice options are not the classic ones I am looking for. Does anyone know how to access the classic Microsoft Sam text-to-speech abilities of previous windows OS's?

Sorry, can't help with Vista. However, if you want better voices than MS Sam and Mike (low quality IMHO), check out YAKiToMe! They have premium quality AT%26amp;T Natural Voices for free.
