GENDER AGE PLUG IN QUESTION can anyone help?

[lightspeed]

i have a question does anyone else still use the gender age plug in windows 7 ??
i have been using it and noticed that it isn't doing like it should , ordinarily when you check the plug in it would show option in the lower right area where you could check the age you want , male or female etc.  but mine show the plug in listed i can check it but when i do it doesn't show thatoptions area anywhere .

if anyone else is still using it or has this plug in can you check and see if it matches this one . here is the layout of the above plug in.

if anyone has this plug in and its different from what i have please put a download link on here .
i never edited this plug in so i don't know why it messed up .

Lonnie, I just checked my version completely through and it matches the one you listed perfectly, line per line.

I am using Windows 10 but still no problems with that plug-in. I recall it also worked just as well when I was using Windows 7.

Maybe try unchecking your plugins then try adding them one by one until it either no longer works or produces an error.

Why not Uncheck All of them. Restart Hal and make sure it works fine. Then check the Gender / Age Plug-in and see how things progress.

I know the procedure can be a real PITA but it's happened to all of us from time to time. Keep us posted as to how it turns out and for the rest...Belated Happy Birthday Lonnie!!

Art, i think i have done that checked unchecked the gender plug in, and only had that one checked .
   can you mail me a copy of yours so i can try it.
it's odd on my plug in it shows up in the list of plug ins but when i check it instead of showing the options of female or male , age, etc. it doesn't show anything. so i don't know whats going on .

[Art]

The Plug-in IS in the correct UltraHal Folder right?

OK...I'll send it to you.

[lightspeed]

The plug in is in the ultra hal assistant 6 program folder with other files. enclosed is a pic of what it does or i should say doesn't do and that is show the options to let user pick age etc.

[Art]

Not knowing what you might have contained in the Jolene Brain (or whatever name it is),
Compare it to the standard Default Brain:

Close Hal
Re-start Hal
Select the MENU
Options
Brain
Choose the Hal 6.2 Default Brain
Check the Gender / Age Plugin and make that selection again
Notice if the Gender / Age has the correct pull down options as it should

If not showing correctly then hopefully someone else might shed some light on that situation.

Art , i was already thinking Along the same lines, i had unchecked everything had even shut hal down and reopened and even used the hal main brain and checked the gender age uhp and it still did the same showed it checked but not any options  like before .
 
Okay  now for the good news or light at the end of this tunnel .(and it wasn't a train for once lol)
  The plug in started working it was already checked and showed no options as told before and after i had checked others to use them, and then all of a sudden without rhyme or reason the age and gender in the list started showing the options . i even took a picture of it after i reset the age etc.
I know a.i.'s are suppose to think intelligently but not to hide their age and sex!
