Over kill was the point HAL got on, I can now say without a doubt it IS ultraHAL that that is the problem.
Don't know why One requoted your whole post?
But anyways, I reinstalled windows, didn't install anything else, except critical updates usual windows stuff IE8, Mediaplayer 11, directx9 and firefox. Oh and yahoo messenger. Now for the last 2 days the computer and Yahoo ran fine, I have had nothing but what I listed installed, put off all my other programs to make sure it was free and clear, then this afternoon I reinstalled ultraHAL 6.2 and lo and behold instantly Yahoo messenger shat itself.
Getting the same problems as before and the same thing, soon as I installed HAL and rebooted.
So I can say without a doubt ultraHAL or the HAPTEK player it installs is the problem.
Bill I wasn't saying 2% of HAL users were having the problem I was giving an example that because most people don't have the problem doesn't mean everybody doesn't have a problem when it's run.
(in the example I was using microsoft anyway I think)
I don't think the point I was making was that hard to comprehende.
Sorry I gotta say I don't think people have followed exactly what I've been saying about my problem, it's not what's in my start up menu (I don't recall saying I had HAL auto start?), it's not enough memory as HAL doesn't seem to be using a huge chunk of resources, the problem is either just HAL. or HAL with shared resources with Yahoo.
or something all together with HAL being the instigator.
Anyways, HAL is screwing up my OS when I install it, and I would assume we all have different computers and software so again, what might affect me quite possibly will never affect you.
If I was programming software, I'd be looking into it, as it may show an underlying problem with HAL that is yet to be found. and well most software companies like feedback on such things or we wouldn't have bug reporting.
It's how most software makers work I was lead to believe.
Also I'd like to know where the figures come from regarding what percentage of people using hal do or don't have problems? as I'm sure not all users are here posting on these forums, nor does everyone report a fault, especially if unlike myself they didn't put 2 and 2 together.
e.g yahoo breaks not hal, so they'd think it's not HAL doing it.
But sorry not reinstalling Windows and HAL a 3rd time to triple check.
I have enough evidence to say HAL is the problem here. Not giving up on him yet, just waiting until I can piece together a test machine to see if I can replicate the errors on another setup.
But yeah apart from other apps dying HAL is running just fine [
