Daniel and Steve,<br>
I will be gladly listen and comply to your request.&nbsp; <br>
In turn, I humbly request that you please continue to work on your
software's short comings.<br>
I would hope that our criticism makes you a bit uncomfortable.<br>
&nbsp;As many have written here, your buggy software is causing
frustrations at a time when <font size=4 color="#FF0000"><b>we do not
need them!<br>

&gt; I thought that it was my old computer (&amp; WIN95) that was<br>
&gt; causing the crash problems.<br>
&gt; Perhaps we should go back to our old DOS versions of MS, until<br>
&gt; Equis can remove<br>
&gt; the bugs.....?<br>

&gt;&gt; I have completely removed 6.52 &amp; register keys. Did a
fresh<br>
&gt;&gt; installation of 7.01 EOD on Windows 2000. I only use local<br>
&gt;&gt; hard disk data. Unfortunately, Metastock still crashes.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; 6.52 crashes very often, about once every 20 securities.<br>
&gt;&gt; MS 7.01 is slightly better, about one crash every 50-100<br>
&gt;&gt; securities. It crashes when I scroll through securities<br>
&gt;&gt; using the arrow buttons at the lower right-hand corner.<br>
&gt;&gt; I've used Windows 2000 since Beta 3 (April, 1999).<br>
&gt;&gt; MS 6.5 is so stable, I don't even recall any crash.<br>
&gt;&gt; The problem starts with MS 6.52. And now it seems<br>
&gt;&gt; MS 7.01 still has the same problem.<br>
&gt;&gt; Any suggestion is appreciated.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Thank you very much.<br>

Lynn,
Your suggested fix seemed to remedy the constant crashing.  I have scrolled 
through dozens of issues, without a hitch.  I appreciate your help, and 
also the comments of others, here, for bringing this apparently common 
situation to your attention.
Larry
