I just upgraded my desktop OS from Windows95 and it still crashes; in
addition i have a boot up sequence that lost some files and the start up
looks for connections that requires me to hit the space bar 4 times to
complete the boot process.
An interesting thing happens to MS 6.5 under Windows98.
All of the stock containing directories no show Name, Symbol, and first
and last dates of data for each security but scroll vertically instead
of horizontally. This makes it more difficult to locate stocks by
scrolling through the list. Has anybody else noticed this?? I
contacted equis support for a fix. I'm not aware of changing the set up
of these directory listings although anythoing can happen by hitting the
wrong key.
