    <P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows End-of-Day 
    version 6.5</B>. This will work on any 6.5 install or from any previous 6.5 
    patch. This patch contains the Euro and Y2K adjustments and will update your 
    version of The DownLoader to 6.52 also. <BR><EM>(dated 2/8/99, 4.8 
    Mb)</EM></P>
    <P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 6.5 use this patch. To 
    find out if you own this version choose About from the MetaStock Help 
    menu.</P>
    <P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install 
    automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you 
    the programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed, 
    reboot your computer to run MetaStock for Windows.</P>
    <P>This Patch will patch open files. If you inadvertently apply this patch 
    while MetaStock is running the patch will continue and tell you that you 
    must reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that 
    were open will be updated. Note: If you do not reboot and try to run 
    MetaStock for Windows, it will not run correctly.</P><B>
    <P>Please note the following to try and avoid problems when utilizing this 
    patch:</B><BR>If you upgraded version 6.5 to version 6.52 with a previous 
    patch and then re-installed version 6.5 to a new different folder this patch 
    will update the version 6.5 in the new folder. It WILL NOT update the 
    previous patched 6.52 version because it will look at the 6.5 registry key 
    to find version 6.5. This will point to the new folder not the old 6.52 
    folder. This patch will give you a complete version 6.52 in the new 
    folder...</P>
    <P>However, if you have deleted the registry entries and have not re-set 
    them by entering the Tools|Options dialog and pressing OK or by 
    re-installing version 6.5 then this patch will probably fail. If you have a 
    problem with this patch, and you are certain you downloaded the entire file 
    (4.8 Mb) you should uninstall version 6.5 and reinstall it. Then, run this 
    patch to bring you to version 6.52.</P>

    <P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT 
    End-of-Day version 6.52</B>, if you used the patch dated 1/22/99 to update 
    your version 6.5, or installed MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT End-of-Day 
    version 6.52 from a new version 6.52 CD-ROM. If you used an earlier dated 
    patch to update from version 6.5 to version 6.52, you should reinstall 
    version 6.5 and utilize the full patch. This patch contains fixes for the 
    &quot;Date requested is after the last date in the data&quot; error when 
    opening charts. This patch also corrects a problem in The DownLoader for 
    Windows 95 &amp; NT &quot;Traverse Destination Folders&quot; during 
    conversions as well as the conversion of intra-day data files. 
    <BR><EM>(dated 2/8/99, 587 kb)</EM></P>
    <P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT 6.52 dated 
    1/22/99 (program build date 1/21/99) or later use this patch. We also 
    recommend everyone owning The DownLoader for Windows 95 &amp; NT version 
    6.52 use this patch. To find out if you own this version choose <B>About</B> 
    from the MetaStock <B>Help </B>menu. (Or The DownLoader <B>Help</B> menu 
    (where appropriate)).</P>
    <P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install 
    automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you 
    the programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed,

    must reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that 
    were open will be updated. Note: If you do not reboot and try to run

     Do you have McAfee virus checker with the latest file updates?  I had
the same problem earlier then found out my computer had picked up the
SpaceEater virus.  After the virus was removed, I didn't have any more
problems.
