Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultra Hal 6.2 won't start

this might be obvious, but i thought i would throw it out there anyway.
there are two ways UltraHal can be set-up to start.
1 - it starts when you start it
2 - starts with system startup (as icon at bottom right)

is hal already running because it is set-up to start with windows and you are trying to start it again?

if this is possible then go to (windows) start, run, msconfig.exe
uncheck ultra hal from the start-up programs
reset computer, and then open task manager and see if the process "halassist.exe" is running (shouldn't be)
if not try starting hal then.

Jason,

HAL is not set to load at start, each time it fails to start I can see the process running under Task Manager but the application has not started.

Question: If I reinstall HAL, am I going to use the Brain and related files?

Delete all the plugings that you installed and start with a clean Hal once again. Then add on plugin at a time and test it. Sometimes one plugin will prevent others from working and that includes Hal.

Bill,

Many thanks for the advise, I tried the following:

1. Renamed the plugin files - tried to start Hal - no luck.
2. Editied the HalAsst Configuration file and removed the Plugin file names - tried start Hal - no luck either.

I am not sure if there is anywhere else I need to disable the plugins other than thru Hal itself, which I can't do.

I wish there was a way to see which file is killing the start. Any other ideas? Anyone?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultra Hal 6.2 won't start

Hello All,

I have had a great time testing out the trial version for the past 2 weeks, last week though I downloaded some plugins and since then I have a funny situation: Upon clicking shortcut, HAL does not show up. halasst.exe is running under process' but noting in the Applications tab of Task Manager. If I try to click the shortcut again, rightly so, I have message that Halasst.exe is already running and I need to close before starting a second incident.

I have rebooted, checked firewall, checked everything - no luck, any ideas?

System is 32bit Vista, 2GB RAM, Toshiba Tecra M9.

I am on a similar quest. I have searched high and low, all the oldies are discussing it over the past year, so it must have been out sometime ago. Good Luck, will keep searching.
