I solved my problem with the eSignal data feed and thought other
users might be interested. By starting over and installing one
software at a time, I determined that the McAfee Firewall is
incompatible with eSignal's Winros.exe application. McAfee Viruscan
is fine, no problems with Winros.exe. Once I uninstalled the McAfee
Firewall and installed the free ZoneAlarm firewall, everything works
fine.
I note on the Qcharts group that the same type of problems occur
there, so it's apparently a common problem with Windows
applications. I'd have to agree with other recommendations to have a
separate computer for trading applications (MetaStock and direct
access software), and keep everything else on another computer. I
look forward to the day when I can do that.
