For the infinitive 'proberen', or 'to try', you can use 'om' but it is one of those cases where 'om' can be omitted, which people tend to do. Thus, using 'om' here would be unusual, but not wrong.
See more information about the infinitive constructions and the situation with 'proberen te' here. :)

is this limited to "proberen" , or can this be done with other infinitives also? (omitting "om")

I think it is a pity that they have to mark 'probeer te praten' as wrong if it is not.

Then I must have made a REAL error elsewhere in the sentence, sorry, and thanks!
