Ultra Hal 7.0 / Problems with Multiple User Startup

« on: September 29, 2003, 08:36:31 am »

Hi,

I have a small problem at this time. I am using 4.5 Hal free version on a windows xp home with 512 mb ram and 1.944ghz cpu. well my problem is this.

I used to just use the computer myself, one account admin priveleged, but I have added a couple new accounts. when they try to long on the Hal installer starts and install Hal. It does this every time they log on. logon...installer runs, log off, log on...installer runs again. Is there any way to stop this from happening. the accounts they use are limited, no admin priveleges.

the only way I could stop it was to use msconfig and find the installer app and delete it. It resides in the Windows/Installer folder which is normally a hidden folder. I deleted the file and now it does not try to install every time. but now hal will not load at logon any more you must start him from all programs menu.

Another problem is that it will not allow the other users to change the settings and save the changes. It all ways resets back to the defaults when it was first installed on the admin account. Ie;logon-make option changes hit apply. Log off. Log on start hall check options they are back to the defaults. why?

Can someone Help me with this one. Hal used to start on logon but doesnt anymore. I have tried to choose start when windows start hit apply then ok. log off, then log on no Hal?

Another wierd coincedence is that the icon for hal is missing on the other accounts. you can see the folder in the all program menu, open folder and it shows the deafult icon as if no icon was chosen for the app. Not the Hal 4.5 Icon on the admin account. why is this?

well enough for now. I will check back later, please someone help me if you can.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Help me please someone

« on: September 16, 2003, 04:07:57 pm »

Hi,

As you have seen, I have made a few posts and sugestions, but my experiece with vb script is all but nonexistent. Can anyone make some suggestions as to how I might improve my knowledge on this.

Plus can any one help me understand how and where to make changes in the 5.0 since it doesnt have the brain editor yet. I know some use notepad to edit the brain files, but I dont know which ones you can or cant edit or where to make the additions, ie;the lunch brain, the knock knock joke brain, the question answer brain. I would like to not mess it up and always have to start again.

Any help on this would be apreciated. I'll still give suggestions and ideas as I can think up of any.
