Default Re: Format drive, Upgrade OS and install new ver HAL

Were it not for Rob responding to your post I would have missed this thread. Sorry.

So the easiest solution would be to do the following:

- As Rob mentioned, perform a HAL backup which saves the HAL related data files and registry setting, but also save your HAL directory and the corresponding sub-directories to a network drive or usb pen drive.
- Run the HAL license Manager to De-activate your license on the XP drive.
- Perform you upgrade to Windows 7. You can use 64 bit if you want to use the Way2Call UsB modem which has both 32 & 64 bit drivers and is supported in HAL v6.
- Turn off UAC.
- Download HAL version 6.
- Right click on the HAL installer exe, select Properties and Unblock the file.
- Right Click again on the HAL installer exe and select "Run as Admin"
on your new win 7 system.
- Run the License Manager and enter your new v6 license Info and register.
- Run HAL
- Open System Setting and perform a restore.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry again for not responding sooner.

Regards,

Tim
