Title: review
Post by: pulsar1z on December 03, 2002, 08:41:41 am
I have some observations about Ultra HAL 4.5

I have 4 computers.  2 have windows ME and 2 have Windows XP.  The Ultra Hal CD is just a coaster, nothing more.  I say that because it will not load on any of my PC’s regardless of Windows service pack or not.  The corrupt data.cab error is consistent on all PC’s.  The downloaded Ultra Hal v4.5 does not have this problem, therefore it is not a Microsoft problem.  It is a Zabaware problem.

I love this program and tried everything to get it to work.  After programming a new brain and running the brain editor everything was great.  Hal was learning and I was happy.  After about 4 learning sessions, (using the brain editor) the program started to shut down.  It did not freeze, It shut down just like you closed it.  This happened on all of the PC’s. So I reloaded the program from scratch and had the same problem. All PC’s


PS.....  I am back to being happy because I discovered why the Hal program was shutting down.  If you make changes using the Brain Editor to the different brain files be sure that you use the ok button to exit programming and wait until the window closes.  Otherwise you can corrupt the formatting of the file.  This is truly a remarkable program and I am having a blast working with it.  I have one question though,  it seems that Hal doesn’t response to the topic brain files very much.  I would like to know how to give them a higher relevance rating.
