Just a shot in the dark but if you look at the Ultra Hal Assistant 6 folder, you should see a file: HalBrainEditor.exe with a file date of 2/4/2009 and a size showing 865 KB. (or very similar).

If you DO have this file try double clicking it and see if it runs and opens the Editor program.

If you do not see the above mentioned file, could be your download was corrupted.

Before deleting and downloading all over again, Deactivate Hal, then do a removal.
Then do a bug sweep / anti-virus check.
Do a Registry cleaner. A lot of times portions of Hal (as well as other programs) are left hanging about the registry.
You could manually go through and delete them if you knew what you were doing inside the registry. I would not suggest doing so without a good working knowledge of the registry.

After the above steps check out, reboot.

Download UltraHal once more an d do the install.
Look for the file with Windows Explorer, HalBrainEditor.exe.

Good luck!

PS = Make sure you don't have any weird permissions set that might prevent you from running the exe program?...just saying....

 Sorry I'm late but just in case, Just to chime in as well as running the editor with elevated privileges. Right click, "run as administrator" and it's done.

Running it as a administrator does not help i get the same error. This is what the error states:

Quote
ERROR:Uknown return_code: FALSE_MAIN_LF_CORRUPT. Please contact vendor shutting  down.
I looked up the error message and apparently this was mentioned in the past in the forums here. However one of the posters never let anyone know if the fixes helped. I can try uninstalling and reinstalling it again since i have the actual disk for hal but i don't think it is going to work any better.

I think you hold down the SHIFT or CTRL key along with your mouse.
The scroll wheel should also allow for zooming in and out..if memory serves.

I just purchased the UltraHal package (6.2) on the CD and loaded from CD.  I have a Deskmates avatar.  I can converse, etc with the avatar all right, but when I try to run the brain editor I get the same error message cited above.

I am running an HP with an Intel I7 with 8GB of ram and 2GB of Nvidia, 1GB disk.  Windows 10 ('automatic' upgrade from 8.1, but prior to Hal installation.)

What am I missing?

one of the earlier replies above says to look for HALDBEDITOR.EXE dated 2/4/2009 and a size of 841K. 

I found a file with that name but dated 2/3/2009 and sized at 861K.

Is my cd unreliable?   Error is FALSE_MAIN_LF_CORRUPT

This means that your license file has become corrupted probably.

try un-registering the license file and then re-regester your HAL.

Sorry to keep making the same suggestion but I just want to cover the bases because this error replicates for me if the Brain Editor does not have elevated permissions to start. OTC or Art would have a better handle but I can still get that error if the permissions aren't elevated to Administrator across the board.
Sorry just wanted to make sure.
