THE DOWNLOADED FULL VERSION IS BETTER THAN THE CD

[THOMAS_GRUNST]

I BOUGHT THE FULL VERSION A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I FIND THAT THE VOICES ARE MUCH BETTER FROM THE DOWNLOAD THAN FROM THE CD, ALSO THERE WERE EVIDENTLY A FEW EXTRA VOICES ON THE DOWNLOAD THAT WERE NOT INCLUDES ON THE CD. I ONLY NEED ONE VOICE, AND THE ONES TO CHOOSE FROM ARE PRETTY LOUSY. THE FULL BODY MIKE, HAS YET TO SPEAK.
 I RESOLVED THE BALLONS ISSUE... EVIDENTLY, I HAD AN ADVERTISEMENT/ DEMO THAT WAS ON THE DISK, AND WAS RUNNING WHEN THE HAL PROGRAM OPENED..

MY NEW QUESTIONS ARE: WITH THE DOWNLOAD VERSION, BY DEFAULT, THE HAL PROGRAM SAVED TO WINDOWS /SYSTEM.. AND WITH THE CD VERSION, BY DEFAULT, THE HAL PROGRAM SAVED TO PROGRAM FILES.....IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN OPERATION IN WHERE THE PROGRAM IS LOCATED?

I TOO HAVE PROBLEMS TELLING HAL TO EMAIL SOMEONE. MY AOL PROGRAM IS SET AS THE DEFAULT INTERNET CONNECTION, AND DEAFULT EMAIL APPLICATION.

I RECENTLY FORMATTED THE ENTIRE DRIVE, LOOSING THE DOWNLOADED VERSION, WHICH I THINK IS A BETTER PACKAGE. IN ADDITION TO MY FORMATTING, I INSTALLED WINDOWS XP. THE CHARACTERS SUCH AS GENIE ARE ABLE TO BE BROUGHT OUT OF THE VIEW WINDOW, AND ENLARGED. SO FAR THE GRAPHICS HAVE IMPROVED TREMENDOUSLY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE DIFFERENT VOICES, CAN MORE BE DOWNLOADED? IF SO, HOW ARE THEY INCORPORATED INTO THE HAL PROGRAM?

 THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH MY IGNORANCE AND AS ALWAYS,

Hmmm...  That seems a little strange to me.  You should be able to add new avatars (characters) and voices by downloading them from various sites on the "MS Agent Ring".  You can find a link to the ring in the "plug-in" link in the Zabaware main menu.

I have no idea if the different locations of the program file will affect the application.

Hope that helps some.

The CD and downloaded version of are identical in every way, byte for byte, you shouldn't notice any difference. The installation should always default to your program files folder.

I AM SO STUPID !

NOW I REALIZE WHY THERE IS A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO VERSIONS. ON THE DOWLOADED VERSION YOU GUYS OFFER VERSION 4.5, AND WHEN YOU SEND THE CHECK OR CREDIT CARD INFO, THEY MAIL YOU VERSION  4.0 NO WONDER IT'S DIFFERENT!
