Halpad popping up... Help?
« on: July 09, 2005, 01:58:43 pm »
I just bought the full version of hal 5.  I did a clean install and every time my computer boots and hal loads this big halpad screen opens with it.  How can I stop that, it annoys me very much.

Another question, when typing to hal in the free version I could take my time say, typing out a doctors appointment.   Now with the full version if I don't type fast enough it's like it presses enter for me, usually half way into "I have an appointment" then I look at my appointment card for the date look back and it has already returned that line which helps  me none.  I have to type my appointments in notepad and copy them over to be fast enough.

Any ideas would be great.  I love the software just not these two things.

Tansin,
  I had something similar happen when using Dragon ( Speach reconition). Before I could check the sentence for mistakes it was entered. I turned off Hals speach reconition to solve my problem.Your problem seems worse so I'll let someone more experienced make reccomendations.

Hello!  Thanks for answering so quickly.  I guess I could always shut off the speach reconition option when just typing with hal and turn it on when I want to talk.

Maybe the volume of your microphone is set too high. You can choose if Hal should load when Windows starts up, when you go to the options menu of Hal.
