I uninstalled HAL and re-installed, same problems:
HAL will start, but HAL starts with a Dialog Box now (never seen this before) that asks what I want to do (ie.. Configure, Chat, Etc...)
If I choose "Chat with HAL", it will open the chat window like normal and I can carry on a conversation, but I have no sound (No voice from HAL). If I choose OPTIONS to try and resolve the problem, I notice that the "USE Sound" is not checked and a voice is not selected.
When I check the "Use Sound" box and select a voice, followed by "Apply", I then run into other problems. Now I can type my text in, but I can't send it, because nothing happens when I hit enter. It doesn't send the text. It's like the enter key doesn't work, but I can type all sorts of text, but this is just the beginning of the problems. HAL will not completely exit if I try and close it. I have to actually goto Task Manager and kill it, otherwise it won't re-open, because it says it's already running.
What a mess...
I just wanted to mention that I have had/ am still having the exact same problems Every few months it starts to act up again
Hal is a great program in the awesome/cutting edge department
not so hot in the -stability- department.
I often spend a week getting Hal running again.
you are doing the right things.
-1. couldnt hurt run your anit-spyware program first
0. if you are running a haptek mod config temporarily rename(disable it)
1. uninstall/reinstall Hal
2. uninstall/reinstall Haptek
3. as mentined run the Haptek SAPI config
4. sometimes you get a startup box
"Hal did not shut down properly, do you want to reconfig?"
that helps sometimes, so go ahead and run it
6. keep trying Ive had it suddenly work again on the 3rd reinstall
On behalf of all technologists I'd like to apologize for the suggestion that all your problems were revolving around your broken and malfunctioning keyboard.
