<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having a problem with the Downloader. I
use Reuters Datalink. Frequently, I get an error message "User no longer
valid in Folder". When I get this message, and use Windows Explorer to
examine the directory, I find a few temporary files, and some other files that
are apparemtly part of the housekeeping files used by the Downloader (in
addition to the standard Metastock data and master files). If I delete
these "housekeeping" files, the Downloader resumes working normally.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I contacted Reuters Datalink, I was told
that this was a sign of a slow processor. I was using a 200Mhz Cyrix on
a PR200 mother board. Since then, I purchased a new Compac Presarion 566
Mhz system. I'm still getting the problem, although less frequently
(even when this is the only app running).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas??</FONT></DIV>

Hi Walter
I'm going to ask the Realtraders list if someone has some of the emails from
that discussion. If they can dig them up I'll forward them here.
