Brian,
Welcome to the forum!

First what version of Hal are you using (free, purchased)?
What is your operating system (98, XP) and memory?
What brain file are you using (default, XTF, etc.)?
Have you edited or changed anything in the brain file? If so, what?

Let us know and we'll try to resolve your problem.

Try turning off you virus scanner and then reinstall Hal. Some anti virus program interfere with the complete installation of Hal.

Brian,

That error is usually the result of a missing quote (") from the end of a line of code.

Did the error message indicate a line number?
If so, you can open the brain editor and go to that line number to look for a possible missing end or closing quote.

Sometimes this happens if or when a line of code gets split or carried down to the next line like:
Val (str$) = "This is
a quote"

or something similar.

Lastly, make sure you do a recent update and scan for viruses.

Hope this helps.
