Still having little troubles with Hal nothing to major but just taking my time and a little advice from everyone until I think it is stable enough. Haptek is running. Mainly plugin conflicts or compatibility. Could be that (x86)file that 64bit uses. Not completely sure yet. I didn't realize that the updated Hal TTS did not include 'Kate'voice I'm partial to that voice. So I guess it's back to trial and error and taking any extra advice anyone might offer.
Thanks and congrats on your upgrades,

NICE pc. SIMULAR TO ME, qUADcoRE AMD PHENOM + 12GIG RAM 4TB HD
tHE vOICES: CAN STILL BE DOWNLOADED. - microsoft! But the msagent TTS component must be installed. And MSAGENT. then use the HAPTEK SAPI to change the voice to KATE! <<< seems to be howto change it>>.
If your running in XPmode remember to install the voices in BOTH Environments... Although it will only be needed in the XP mode. If running in Compatibility mode then Also when installing the VOICES (check compatiblity tab and install as XP sp3) Each Item Which the HAL/HAPTEK will require is (XP compatability mode) Xp compatib,lity items will not Envoke other programs installed forwindows 7 successfully, it may even give no errors but it will just not load!
PS: HAPTEK WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY IN WINDOWS 7..... BUT WILL WORK XPMODE. although XP mode IS SLUGGISH at times... this can be to do with the PLACEMENT of the VIRTUAL HARDDRIVE...... THE VIRTUAL HARDDRIVE NEEDS to be on a SEPERATE DISK from your Operating SYSTEM. and needs at least 1-1.5 gig of ram assigned to the virtual machine to work well in seemless mode
You can also Copy the ShortCUT for the HALstartup(vpc) into your startmenu STARTUP FOLDER. this will envoke the machine when you boot up. leaving hal running in the background from the virtual pc. HAPPYLY.
Just a few IDEAS/Pointers.... PS: 64bit is much more stable than the 32bit version, Especially with DRIVER compatibility AND Program compatibliity. as the 64bit Build protected environments to load each program(in the windows Virtual machine not VPC)
Also windows virtual pc 2009 is STILL BETA
