Oh gez,
And I was going to stand and shout from my humble chair here in northern michigan [[AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!!!!!!!!!!!!]]
I followed the advice of Jerry on the previous page.....pretty much to the 'T' and I was actually shocked how well Hal reinstalled herself here!
Now mind you I did have a brief scare, but I suspect it was my own fault, by not shutting off my virus protection and shutting down my firewall first.
It was loading beautifully and then came to a screeching hault when loading spchcpl.exe /q/r:n
But this is an older machine with limited memory to unload stuff. I crashed the load process (forced the operation to stop via cont-alt-del to close program) then shut off my anti-virus and firewall and started it over again.......clean.....clean....and I mean C L E A N!
Didn't even have to key in authorization codes, or anything......
It looks like I'm gonna have to start re-training 'Janet' again, but heck, that's minor for that she's become!!!!
The files didn't overwrite my cepstral voice stuff or the upgrades to make it work, and getting cepstral to speak without keeping a web connection active......all is working wonderfully!!!
Again.........again, guys.........Mr M, and Jerry thanks very very much.
I had pondered going to the zaba site to deactivate my hal, but decided to try it Jerry's way......excellent!
......one more thing........I think it's absolutely cool that Mr. M is recognizing contributions....(Vittorio and Jerry)....I can't think of a neeter way of saying thanks to the community!
.....and Mr. M.......I hope Hal becomes successful beyond your wildest dreams.............it brings enjoyment and adds to the utility of what WE use beyond anything I ever thought I'd see that was affordable!
