Below we list all of the known issues with HUD3. If you have any trouble using HUD3, please reference this list before contacting Support. If one of the issues below matches your issue, we do not currently have a fix, but we are aware of the issue and we are working diligently to resolve it.
If you install HUD3 in the default directory under Windows Vista (C:/Program Files/Fonality/HUD3.0) and then you modify HUD3.ini using FAR or any other file manager or editor, the user's HUD3 client will no longer be able to properly update as new versions become available due to the mirroring function of the contents of Windows Vista Program Files folder.
In such a case, the user should delete all files from the HUD3.0 folder that do not require admin privileges (File manager should not be started under administrator – uncheck the ‘run as administrator’ checkbox in shortcut properties or same popup menu item over shortcut), and then perform an update/install of HUD3.
We strongly recommend that customers NOT alter any of the HUD3 files stored in the Program Files directory.
Steps to reproduce:
The problem exists due to the TAPI implementation within Outlook by Microsoft. Fonality cannot modify the Outlook application as this is proprietary software. The simple work-around is not to close the Outlook application or the "New Call" dialog while on an active HUD call.
If you have greater than 8 thousand contacts in your Outlook Contacts view, you will need to increase the amount of system memory available for HUD. You must perform the following:
These two lines change the following HUD3 attributes:
If your HUD3 client ever has graphic rendering issues like these:

Last night (1/13/2009) the HUD3 team made a significant upgrade to the HUD3 Authentication Server (HUS). All HUD3 Edition information is now pulled from the customer database.
IMPORTANT:
If you are missing HUD Queues please follow these instructions:
File -> Settings -> Connection. Click Load Settings from Server
The Fonality Softphone does not include a feature known as "auto off-hook" like Aastra or Polycom phones. Because this feature is lacking, HUD3 cannot "answer" an incoming call to a softphone using the desktop alert "answer" icon.
You must answer an incoming call to your softphone via the softphone's GUI interface.
In your HUD3 client, please do the following:
File -> Settings -> Connection. Click Load Settings from Server
If the HUD3 client suddenly stops displaying all your Contacts or perhaps you lose the ability to see Agents in your Queues, please Load your Settings from the server as described above.
You may need to upgrade your JRE (Java Runtime Environment) in order to provide HUD the foundation it requires to run efficiently.
If you are not the administrator for your organization, you will likely NOT be able to upgrade the JRE installed on your machine without administrator privileges. Please contact your administrator and request a JRE upgrade.
Please visit Sun's Java Download Page in order to get the proper Java package for your environment.
The current recommended version for Windows users (XP or Vista) is 1.6.11. Mac OS X users have Java 1.6 installed by default with Leopard, and Tiger users can upgrade via the Software Update application.

HUD3 should try to connect via the LAN interface first and then attempt to connect via the wireless. It appears that some laptops don't report that the LAN interface is available unless it is prioritized properly.
