I use DNS 10 in Win 7 without any problems for dictating in office XP and office 2007. I have installed it too on a computer under WinXP and there, with office XP and office 2003 it enters wrong characters instead of ê, è, à, ù, while it has no problems with é and ç.

For example, it writes 'voilŕ' for 'voilà, 'lŕ-bas' for 'là-bas', 'pčre' for 'père', 'męme' for 'même', 'oů ętes-vous' for 'où êtes-vous'.

This doesn't happen when I dictate here in the internet browser, nor in Wordpad, Notepad, or Open Office.

-- On the other hand, there are problems that appear only in OpenOffice and the internet browser: for example, when dictating a phrase like "Qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire?"("What can we do?) it appears as "quést-ce quón peut faire", while it is always put right in the other editors. --

Can I fix this? - or at least: What the cause might be?

It could be a font related problem if it varies across applications. Try changing your fonts in the editor that it doesn't work it to one from an editor that does, and see if that affects the problem.

For the second problem, I believe that the editor automatically substitutes 'e as é and 'o as ó to make typing special characters easier. I don't have a copy of OpenOffice handy, but you should be able to turn off autocorrect somewhere in the preferences dialog.
