Ultra Hal 7.0 / Restart issue w/Hal
« on: July 22, 2004, 06:02:42 pm »
Spydaz,
Ordinarily I would agree with your proposal
however, this has happened from a fresh boot,
never clicked on my desktop Hal icon. Installed
new program (utility or whatever, maybe a WinXP
update). Upon restart (as is sometimes required),
this wide popup window asks if I want to reconfigure
Hal as it was not shutdown properly! As was previously
mentioned by Don and I, this does not lead to any
problems and I usually just click on the cancel button.
Ergo, No instance of Hal was loaded upon boot and all
I use is a desktop icon. It is also contained in my START>
ALL PROGRAMS>ULTRAHALLASSISTANT menu selection, but I
always just click on the desktop icon.
I do appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
Rich_A,
Thanks so much for the kind words. In these times of uncertainty,
thin-skin and political correct behavior it's nice to have a
place like this with like minded people willing to offer what
they can and share their discoveries.
I've yet to meet the person who knows it all (though a lot claim
to...LOL!), but there are a lot of really great folks here. I certainly don't have all the answers but I'm glad to assist when
and where I can.
Yes, I've tried various methods to ferret out the culprit and perhaps
somewhere there's a gremlin playing.
I've gone through several version of Hal practically since it started and now up to V.5.0. My machine is a new computer and HD, so the slate is clean so to speak.
I will run another registry checker prog. just to make sure the house is in order. Your suggestions are helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks again and all the best to you both!
