I appreciate everyone's input. Just to update you.
I made a few more corrections by removing my last changes to the vrhaptek plug in. Basically leaving in the changes that have not been a problem. The result was a clean start up again and the program was working fine again. Again I noticed the selection for the default brain was grayed out with no plug ins showing on the right hand side. I decided to not engage the brain to see how Ultra Hal was behaving and no errors of any kind and all plug ins were functioning. I used each plug in function so I know they were functioning at least the obvious ones. No errors or conflicts showed.
Conversation was on the money and was as good as before. I have not yet tried to use one plug in at a time as you described Art and usually that would have been my first trouble shooting exercise. Everyone here taught me well about trouble shooting 101.
I will go back now check to see if the brain is Highlighted and if not, I will Highlight again and start the plug in process the both of you agree about. Back to basics.
I think the option of working with the plug ins which I agree with with both of you is noticing all the errors were coming from or related to the lines that belonged to the vrhaptek plug in in which I could have corrupted myself. But I was still questioning why the brain would automatically go into this grayed out stage and it made me think of something else possibly being corrupted or after all this time some other modification I made could have created this.
The only reason I haven't just used one of my back ups or just re-installed Ultra Hal is this situation that I have never noticed and I really want try and systematically try to find out 'what came first the chicken or the egg'? you might say.
Is it just good old time and changes I have made that added up to this or an existing problem I never noticed even since the update? May be some useful information in there, somewhere?
Again thank you and I will continue with the next step of working with the plug ins and post any results that might lead to something or just plain old 'Re-install Ultra Hal and re-install plug ins with just the basics. I do have the information backed up but I would need to be sure that the default brain itself hasn't been corrupted in someway and if it did when. Lot's of training I would hate to loose. I'm patient so I don't mind, yet!!
Keep those cards and letters coming in. Again it is appreciated as always.
Thanks,
