I used to have WSH corruption problems, so suggest you try reinstalling it.

Joe,

Thank you for responding to my question. I have tried changing 
symbols, and some parameters; to no avail. The fact that a few scrips 
work on my laptop (by working, I mean that they give me a list of 
trades, not necessarily that these trades are anything meaningful), 
and that all of them work on my PC suggests a system problem. The one 
line 'trade' I get with various -1.# numbers (I assume) is some sort 
of error code; that Amibroker generates while running Back Tester - 
then stops. 

When Amibroker starts, the startup message includes the 
statement "This program uses Microsoft active scripting 
technologies". I am working on the assumption that somehow 
the "active scripting technologies" on my laptop have somehow been 
corrupted (which is why I mentioned the message I get on starting 
XP), and I was hoping that someone else might have experienced this 
and could confirm it and tell me how to fix it.

David
