Trouble with Arduino UNO R3 + EasyVR Shield

I tried it a bunch more times this morning before I had to take off for work. I will get after it again tonight when I get home. I was messing with the positioning of the shield too but I'll keep trying different things to see if I can get her to go.

When I switch the jumper to UP I do get the red light. One question I have for you is, when your jumper is in UP and you have the D5 light on, is your green D6 light on as well? Mine will flicker and sometimes stay on simultaneously with D5. Most of the time when I switch to UP, D6 shuts off.
