I have used MS 6.5 on Windows 2000 Beta 3 (April, 1999). And
upgraded along RC1, RC2, RC3 and final Windows 2000 Retail.
I have not experienced any problem with MS 6.5 during the eight
months. I decided to upgrade to Metastock to 6.52 during the
new year weekend of year 2000.
Unfortuanetly, MS 6.52 sometimes just crashed when I open a new
chart or scroll through next security. I don't think the problem is
caused by Windows 2000 because MS 6.5 works fine. The bug
was probably introduced from the upgrade 6.5 to 6.52.
Does MS 7 EOD work fine on Windows 2000? Or any workaround
with MS 6.52? Thank again for your kindly response.
R. I.
