Hspeak Hates Me

Post by Master K »

I don't understand why.

Whenever I try to compile any scripts, it just says importing things for grayscale.hsi and freezes, forcing me to terminate it. Opening Hspeak in the document finder freezes my document finder. Opening it on the desktop freezes the whole desktop.

Why is this happening to me

Hmmm... what antivirus are you running? The thing about freezing the document finder or the desktop makes me suspicious

Expired McAfee and Avast.

Generally not a good idea to run two antivirus programs at the same time. That said though, not sure if that's the sole cause of your problem, but it might be a contributing factor.

Hmmm... I remember an antivirus problem-- it might have been with Avast.

The antivirus would run the exe in an invisible virtual machine for a view seconds, then kill it, and then start it for real. It caused a lot of problems with the ohrrpgce.

Try to add game.exe custom.exe and hspeak.exe to the list of files that Avast ingores (I don't remember exactly how to do that, but all antivirus programs have some kind of exclusion list)


...or just uninstall it (since it is expired anyway and you will need to install something else)

Let me know if any of that helps.

I used to run OHR with avast on Windows 8. The invisible virtual machine thing ran the first time I'd run an exe. It was annoying but it never really caused any actual problems besides me needing to restart the exe again afterwards, and it only seems to run once and adds that exe to a whitelist afterwards. I'd suggest adding hspeak, game and custom to the exception list, and maybe messing with avast's settings.

Also pitch McAfee, it's trash.
Working as intended!

Wow, I can't believe it.

Added the OHR folder to the exclusion list on Avast, and now it works.
