Is there a fix for this problem yet.
Are you using the new Ultra Hal TTS Reader released 2 weeks ago? The older version is not vista compatible. An email was sent out to all customers about the free update. If you have the update have you run Ultra Hal Text-to-speech reader and entered your serial number to unlock the software? If the voices are not registered the program gives you the opportunity to enter the serial number each time you start it. If you entered the serial, does the voice work normally inside of Ultra Hal Text-to-speech reader but adds its "this is a demo" speech when using another software like Ultra Hal Assistant?
If the voices work fine in the reader application, but not in any other then this means vista is virtualizing Neospeech's license file meaning it wasn't running as admin when the license was installed. To remedy this, go to C:program files\zabawarehalreaderkatedata-commonverify and delete the verification.txt file. You may have to click a button in vista's toolbar to show the virtualized vesion of the file too. Repeat this process with Paul at C:program files\zabawarehalreaderpauldata-commonverify Next restart the hal text to speech reader as administrator and reenter the serial number. It will reinstall the verfication file and vista shouldn't virtualize it.
Also what do you mean by "spam warning"? Do you have any software installed that could be blocking the neospeech voices from working proper
What do I need to do to get this software working again
