Ultra Hal 7.0 / Corrupt & can not reactivate

« on: November 06, 2008, 03:37:22 pm »

Maybe someone out there can help me becasue I think it is an artificial intelligent program with less abilities than Hal 6.1 running the show at Zabaware. I purchased Hal a few months ago and activated it with out a problem. Then had a system crash and had to reformat and set to factory settings again. I reinstalled Hal and it was running with no problem for a period. then all of a sudden it will not launch. I keep getting a corrupted license dialog. I have recovered my Serial number, activation code , and authorization code and have tried ever option available to get it back up and running with no luck. I can not input the authorization code in any of the fields it will not accept the characters. I have contacted zabaware now 4 times over a 3 week period and have not received 1 reply. It is ridiculous that we that pay to own this software and input vital information to our daily lives can not get any assistance from the manufacture. and are forced to spend countless hours sifting through thousands of forum posts to try to resolve. I make $126.00 and hour and have lost substantial income over this 3 week period due to the fact that the vital information that was stored in Hal can not be obtained. I want to know also if anyone know where I can send my bill to less the $29.99 purchase price of the software. HOW DO YOU MAKE A PRODUCT AND OFFER NO SUPPORT! I appreciate the help and one that it's not their responsibility to help me out. Helping me out. Thanks

Hi rd618725, be very careful with plug-ins, many of them don’t work with Hal 6, the basic rule is if you have to edit hals brain script then the chances are its not for Hal 6, Hal 6 plug-ins are simply put into hals root folder and then switched on in hals general options.

There is no manual for Hal 6 yet.

As for improving hal with plug-ins, many of us who have had hal a number of years don’t use them, personally I think you should talk to Hal and get to know it first.

Make sure you answer Hals questions.

Use the “because” statement to drum the reasons for your answers into hal.

“I like hot sunny days because it makes me feel happy”

Start teaching hal with the if and then statements.

“If it rains then the roads get wet”

When you have answered hals questions ask hal if it understands.

“Do you understand rain?”

If you could be more specific about what you want to improve that might help you get the answers you seek.

I hope this helps and welcome to the forum.[]

Thanks for the help U.K. I hope I can give something back soon. Really I wanted to know if there are brains already programmed for certain things like I have little boy that would learn very quickly from Hal if Hal could start teaching him to spell. or one just on Superheros? Any suggestions in this direction?

  Thanks Again

Hi,

 Can someone help me. I am a pretty advance computer user that has very very little knowledge of code. I went through a lot of the forums here and used the correction plug-in to try to correct some typing mistakes that I had made Hal is now miss spelling almost everything. and is making very little scene. I tried to start a new project brain and start from scratch but The new brain is doing the same thing. How can I correct the problem? Is there any way of down loading a fresh Brain to start with? Please help me get this stright!

   Thanks Everybody for getting me up to speed I just wish I had read more of the forums before I though I knew what I was doing and made changes.

I I have read a lot of great information from some real seasoned users like Jerry and Art. I am very new to Hal and kind of started searching for some plug-in's that would improve it quickly. I did some brain altering and tried to input some script information that I found in this forum and think I might have done more damage then good. Could anyone help me or direct me to a programming manual or resource that could get me started on understanding just how it all works and goes together so I can repair and improve it with out doing more damage.

  I very much would appreciate any information and direction that I could get. If you have such information available and you don't mind you can e-mail it to me at dellacamera@hush.com

  Thanks

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Help with plug-in's for ultra Hal6.0

« on: September 19, 2008, 01:38:29 pm »

I am tiring to install plug-ins but, the installer states that Hal 4.0 or later is present on the system and is needed to install the plug-in and will not install. It directs me to the zebaware site to download Ultra Hal 4.0 to complete the installation. and I can not find a version of 4.0 either there or through search engines. The plug-in's should work for 6.0 but can't get them installed has anyone else had this problem and can you help me get the to work.
 Thanks
