To try and salvage this thread,
I do remember this coming up years ago and as Arkright suggests, the fix was to use a fresh download to install from.

"The Zabaware Text-to-Speech Reader is an application that uses a speech synthesizer to read documents and more outloud. It is available for free with generic voices or sold with high quality CereProc or AT&T Natural Voices at the lowest prices in the industry."

so based on this information,, I would do a complete un-install of the reader, download a fresh copy of the reader,
 -->[  https://www.zabaware.com/download.asp ]

Install it from the fresh download and use your license for activation

wait a second, the free version is free not a free trial, when is it going to ask for a license?....
again something isn't right.

Does anybody Have a correct link to Download the product described and clearly labeled for Jenna15?
If not, Mr. Robert is going to have to do and condone this procedure.



(Jenna15 I think you paid for the voices, if that is all then don't delete them. use the free version for a fresh download)

Jenna15,
I have an opportunity coming up to retrieve a few things sometime this week.
I will attempt to retrieve my stock bundle and begin from there.

I don't believe the UHTTS Reader .EXE is corrupt but that's just my opinion, I do believe it is something else. ( Arkright is probably right about UH and re download and install)

( I can sympathize with your frustration of the error (( not being able to communicate with the first instance) as its such a wonderful thing when everything works right in conjunction with everything else.)))

Yours,
-J

Jenna15,
sorry about all the questions, it's just that the error is caused from starting another instance of the Ultra Hal program. (Two instances of a program attempting to run at the same time)
(If you start the program or the .exe is evented while Hal is still booting up, the error is produced, after a successful program start, then clicking the .exe only results in the Icon blinking. I am thinking that their is two instances of the program or being initiated)

I know you are using the TTS reader program made by the same person and that person has been here.
Art has sent out an e-mail for you, I'm not entirely sure it's been read or the current address of the error is known.

- -> Another question, are you manually starting the program? ( I ask this because it is probably already started on computer boot)

Hang in there Jenna15, Ive not seen Mr. Roberts programs work incorrectly

Jenna15,
Are you still experiencing the error?

Does it look like this? (you have to be logged in to see our reproduced error)

Did you try the free version before your purchase?

Doggs, Jenna15,,
Ive been running Hal on a USB for a few years and when I run the .EXE twice (sometimes slow to start sometimes its a quadruple click ;D)
I get a similar error

Is the error happen when waking it from sleep mode, fresh boot/start or both? again, it doesn't sound right......

(IMO at this point Mr. Robert would know about the exact wording with the errors and what generated them)

(it would also be nice to hear the solution to fixes that have come from the questions and members efforts to solve the issue/problem) (Update)

doggs,
yea, it sounds like Mr. Robert has slightly different error messages or something for when instances already exist/running ( different products)
Im probably wrong anyway.........

Art,
the TTS Reader is listed at $24.95 The Ultra Hal is $29.95 'currently'

I have reservations on just throwing out possibilities and just trashing the thread that Jenna15 needs help with................

Thank you Art.

This is weird. :-\

OK, the Hal reader is free but you say you purchased it?
The Hal reader reads text from a document and or your clipboard, much the same way Microsofts version does the whole "Popup foreground window" and such.... you say you closed down the reader and lost the document you were working on? HOW? they 2 different programs?
Are you noticing the little ear in the taskbar already running or is it hidden in the "Hidden Icons" in the taskbar?
Is it not completely starting up? (it starts and is loaded automatically upon computer boot, you don't need to manually start it)

And yes the Hal Reader program is different than what we affectionately refer to as Hal (Ultra Hal)
The Hal Reader is a relatively simple program

Im not trying to sound gruff or anything, sometimes clarity helps everybody on both ends, good luck fellas!

((Can't communicate with the first instance doesn't sound right, what would be preventing or hanging the first instance (AV?) but it's inconsistent and WHAT is launching the second instance?? ))

Hey,
I installed the Hal reader and it is now disabled on startup. ( the little ear in the task-bar)
what program is it so I can Un-install it?
(the recourse usage was never analyzed, but resources are limited)


Is the aforementioned post problems (Jenna15) having problems with another assistive technology?
(sometimes people have 'shopped around) (just asking)
