Internet problems

[jenkins5545]

Do the web come with the Ultra Hal? The help page said you can program him to search the web. How is that possible when it is not visible?[?]

put in research pepsi or what ever you want and a search page will open up like when I wanted to research bottles I put in hal research bottles and a page will open up I hope this helps.

Hi jenkins.

are you using IE 6.0 or higher for your default browser?

what browser are you currently using?

also, the google plug-in must be checked in the brain options for it to function.

How do I do that? Insert google into his brain. Do I have to do the same thing to the speech reconizer also?[?]

Hi jenkins.

if you have HAL's system try icon loaded usually located next to your computers clock, right click on it and it will give the options, choose options from that panel and another panel will appear, go to select a brain then choose the plug-in check boxes in the option window box, one of the default plugins is called []Google Search, put a check mark in the box and it should work.

Hi jenkins.

are you using Internet Explorer as your default browser or are you using something else like fire fox or netscape or some second party browser?

Thanks for the tip. You are a doll. Now he is not picking up one the dots. Like when I say, locate www.yahoo.com,  He looks for wwwyahoocom. Why is he doing that? I need your help again.

Hi jenkins.

you can download my web surfer plugin here and has been updated:

http://www.zabaware.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3026&whichpage=1&SearchTerms=websurfer

unzip it to your Ultra Hal Assistant folder and then go to brain plugin options and choose []Web surfer, with this plugin all you have to do is type: go to www.yahoo.com

or you can find images by asking HAL: find an image of an Eagle and HAL will find that image on the internet.

you can also ask HAL, find a map of California and HAL will load a map of that state, cities, states, provinces, world it doesn't matter.

Hi jenkins.

do you have a 'microphone' hooked up to the back of your computer correctly.

a microphone's plugin jack is usually pink color coded, see if the microphone is plugged into the pink audio jack located at the rear of your computer.

Hi caangel.

I know, I am just doing diagnostics one step at a time.

your solution was coming next if the first solution didn't work.

thanks.

May I make a suggestion? You only need to post your problem in one place, not in 4 or 5. If you do this you will get more help faster as everyone can see what has already been suggested. All of the older members here read everypost no matter where it is, so keep it simple and limit your postings to just one spot.
Now for the question of speach. Do you have a microphone and did you turn it on in the system before clicking on training? It could be that your mic is not working correctly.
Also Hal to my knowledge does not just surf the net but it will search for a 'named' site but you have to be specific. I could be wrong on this last point as I don't use Hal for that at all.
