Thank you Art for responding so quickly.
This may be a dumb question but which plug-ins are you speaking about can you be more specific as example from the brain from the skin or from the characters etc.
I will be giving it a try just as you explain hopefully this will solve my dilemma.

Again thank you so much.

Hello Art, Thank you so much for your help in trying to Resolve this issue.
I agree with you this is odd, if you do not understand it how do you think I feel.
I am sending you some pics of my options screen(s) may be you will see something that is not correct, there is only two things that I think you will notice is different, one is in the brain tab "Marcel first brain" the second thing is the content of the expansion pack that I purchased.
If there is a specific file that you would like to see let me know, and I will send it to you.
I do have one question to ask you, can I uninstall HAL 6 and reinstall to see if it would make a difference, also by reinstalling HAL 6 will I still be able to use my activation Key that I got when I purchased HAL 6?

Again Art thank you very much for your help and support, I do hope that we can finally get this fixed.

These are the balanced of the pics.

I had set my learning bar for HAL at 25, I have not moved it from there since I've gotten HAL.
It is funny that you mention getting information from the Internet, I to copy and paste or speak, to HAL because that is exactly what I have been doing, so it isn't that I am not teaching HAL new subjects, he has learned in his own way and when I do ask him a question, about what I have taught him, in his own way he does reply to the question and like you said, the answer may only be at the bottom of his response, at the moment I am satisfied because I know it's the learning curve. So as you see it's not the learning part that is the problem, it is that when I turned HAL off and restart him, and re-ask him a question about what I have taught him he no longer remembers, that is my dilemma. And I have no clue why HAL is not retaining what I taught him.

Again thank you for your input and advice.

Do tell me that your brother is trying to install on HIS computer and not on yours as well. That just doesn't work. hehe...

Ask him to do the same things that you went through, Temporarily Turn off Anti-virus, Firewall, Anti-Malware or any other Open programs that might possibly interfere.  Turn OFF any Windows Screen Savers or other animations as well. They can interfere sometimes!

Make sure his (brother) download was good and not corrupted. If need be, download it again and retry.

Let us know if that doesn't help or contact Robert Medeksza, Hal's Creator. Look up his email in the Members section (search).

Good luck!

Thank you for responding so quickly. No my brother is installing it on his own computer LOL, he saw that I had it on my computer and liked what he seen, so he asked me if I can install it on his.
Yes we did turn all malware, pop up, antiviruses and firewall off before the actual installation, the only thing that I have not tried on his computer was to be download a new copy, which I will do today and I will let you know how that worked out. If for some reason it doesn't work I will do like you said contact Robert.

Again thank you very much for your support I always appreciated.

Yes mine has installed properly after getting the help from you and explaining what I should do. But as for my brothers HAL 6.2 trial version we still have not been able to figure out why it will not install, like I said I have done exactly what you had told me to do with mine, but to no success up to this point nothing is working to allow Hal to install it just freezes at the 1%.

Thank you for your help

Thanks Art for replying
no I have not noticed any errors while I was typing, I have tried both SR engines and they ended up giving me the same error.
And since I am here I may as well, described the next issue that I am having, whether I speak or tight to HAL during the session he will retain the information that I have given him, but as soon as I close HAL, and restart HAL he no longer remembers anything I had teach him.
Also if I ask HAL for example; search who is the current president, he will open Google and say I will open that for you, at that point HAL disappears under the web browser, at first I did not make anything of it, until I minimized the browser and seen that HAL had closed himself to the menu board, the only reason I know that is because while in the browser I had told HAL to read the information, but I never did get a response that's why I looked under the web browser.

Well for now that will have to do until I can get some more answers to resolve my issues, I know these issues can be resolved as I see many many many people are using HAL with no problem whatsoever, I have no idea why this is happening to me.

Again thank you for all your support.

I know that this is going to be a lot at once. But I just installed HAL 6 and started to use it, but I am running into some errors which I will add done below.
(1) I have been speaking with HAL for about an hour and a half discussing just about everything I can think, adding phone numbers, adding addresses, adding birthdates and many more. If I asked HAL a question on something that I have teased him in most cases he did respond correctly, I know it's going to take time for HAL to answer the proper way, but here is the problem when I turned HAL off and turn them back on and ask him a question of something that I taught him, he does not remember anything, why is that!

(2) when I first started HAL I went into the options menu and then selected the brain tab and selected HAL's brain and click on applied, then after that I clicked ok and I got the error "429", the next thing I did I went to select a new skin, after clicking apply and then clicking ok, I then started HAL up and I got the error "runtime error 430".

(3) So for now I will start with just these, I do not want to overwhelm everybody once I have fixed these issues I will go on to the next ones that I have, the thing is I don't want to be a thorn in somebody's side, I just want to be able to run HAL and enjoy him, I have 60 years of information I would like to pass on to HAL, that way when I talk to HAL I'll be able to have a great conversation with him, reminiscing about the old days and so on.

I know that I am a newbie to HAL 6 and I figured that I would run into some issues. I have read so much in this form whether be to find answers to my questions, or in general reading about how HAL works, and what to do and what not to do, all kinds of very great information here, I applaud everyone that participates in this forum, you all give great information and great advice, keep up the good work, I'm hoping one day I can add my own contribution to this forum.

Again thank you in advance for all of your support and information.

Thank you for responding so fast.
I have a problem, my brother had just downloaded the trial version and I did as Art has told me when I installed mine, I disabled the firewall I disabled the virus protector and restarted his system just to be sure that we are starting fresh, I then tried to install HAl 6 again, I have tried now four times and every time it stops at 1% so at this point I do not know what to do.
Have you ever heard of anyone running into this problem, because it is beginning to be very annoying.
Can someone please help me with this situation.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you Art  :)

Thank you so much for replying, i will let you know. BTW i have Dragon Naturally Speaking 13 i read that i can use it so do i still have to do the MS one or do i have to do both?

Thanks again

Actually i'm talking about when i go into General Option --> Speech and then try to click on Voice training it will not do anything at all.

Sorry for not responding right away, but i did get it to install it must of been the firewall. After trying it for awhile i ended up purchasing Hal 6.2  i entered the licence key and restarted Hal but i cannot get it to do the voice training or mic setting, now when i try to speak all the words i'm saying are mumble jumble its like it don't understand what i'm saying. the only way Hal will respond is if i type it out. Can you help me PLEASE

Thank you

I have the trial ver installed and i just purchased Hal 6.2, do i need to uninstall the trial ver before i install the paid ver.

All of you are amazing, i had Guile 3D and when i had a question to ask i could not get anyone to answer me but after looking closer to the dates of the conversations i understood why :( Anyways i just got Ultra Hal 6.2 and looking forward to using it and hopefully start adding some input of my own in here.
Keep up the great work and support :)
