I start MS that way from time to time in order to purge the registry.
After you purge it you have to reset all of the defaults which isn't
too much trouble. I've purged the registry and have had the problem
since, so for me it's reoccuring for some reason.
I agree, part of the problem maybe in the registry because shutting
down MS and restarting purges part of the registry entries, but not
the defaults. Using the other method deletes the defaults also.
I'll see if I can tell which registry entries might be causing this
particular problem.

Type in your first and last names and click Ok.

close the Tutorial and Tip. You should return to MetaStock. Then try
to use the program as normal to see if it works. Most likely you will
have to change the 500 to 1000 again to test this.
