Right now, the problem seems to have been solved.
I had a created a new Brain which I called NewBrain (very original).
When I first started getting the error, I took the .db file and
the .uhp file completely out of the folders. Then, I uninstalled
and re-installed. But I was still getting the error. I checked
the log that it made and it mentioned, "NewBrain". I checked the
folder and there was a NewBrain.db file with no .uhp file. The
new NewBrain.db folder was only 3kb in size. I deleted it and
restarted Hal, but again, it created that folder and gave me
the error. Finally, I moved my NewBrain.db and NewBrain.uhp back
in the folder and restarted and now I have no problem.
I do not know why it was creating the NewBrain.db file to start
with since this was a reinstall. It was not showing this file in
the general options. The only brain there was the original hal
brain. Anyway, it seems to be working now.
Thanks,
Bill
