[:(]I purchased the Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0 and none of the Microsoft detachable characters work. I get an error message: Error loading agent character: -2147417843-1: An outgoing call cannot be made since the application is dispatching an input-synchronous call. Then the Ultra Hal Assistant loads without a character. I even reinstalled the program. I would like to create my own characters using the development software I downloaded from Microsoft as well, so it is important that I get Microsoft Agent Characters working. What are your suggestions?
