Notices (for problems):
1/3/05 - Note (for version 4.61) - If you’ve used a previous version of Virtual Hypnotist, and this version won’t start (has an error message with the error “bad record length”), the settings.dat file is corrupt. Delete the file and then run Virtual Hypnotist again. The file is normally located in C:\Program Files\Virtual Hypnotist
2/3/04 - Note - For speech recognition to work, install the speech system, and you'll notice Microsoft Dictation will also install. Run Dictation (by clicking Start->Programs->Microsoft Dication). You'll see a little icon for it on the bottom right of the screen. Right-click that, choose Dictation Options, and choose either Do More Training or Check Microphone in order to either train it to recognize your voice or check the microphone's volume levels.
12/12/03 - Note - If you have Windows 98 or ME, and you installed 2.0 and the setup froze near the end, do this:
1. Install 2.01 upgrade version (shown below)
2. Extract the file in here to your c:\windows\system directory (the 2.0 setup put an incompatable version in there)
3. Run the software
12/5/03 - Note - If when you run setup.exe it always
prompts to update system files even if
you reboot, then unzip the software to a directory, and replace the setup.lst
file with this file
