I noticed the same issue, but got a very concise answer from support,
see below:
We have been receiving an increased amount of queries regarding
problems with MetaStock and The DownLoader, after installing Windows
XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Versions 8.0 and newer are XP compliant, and
are not experiencing these issues. The problems have been with
versions 7.22 and earlier (6.52 – 7.22), which were released before
Windows XP and therefore are not XP compliant. The recommended
solution is to upgrade to our current version, which is XP compliant.
There is a work-around to help resolve most of the issues, however it
will not resolve all of them, so we recommend upgrading to the
current version.
The work-around is as follows (versions 6.52 – 7.22):
Right click on the MetaStock shortcut
Select Properties
Select the Compatibility tab
Select the option to "Run this program in Compatibility mode for"
Select Windows 2000 from the list
Click OK
Right click on The DownLoader shortcut
Select Properties
Select the Compatibility tab
Select the option to "Run this program in Compatibility mode for"
Select Windows 2000 from the list
Click OK
Please note that you will want to uncheck this Compatibility option
prior to upgrading to an XP compliant version of MetaStock and/or The
DownLoader.
It worked fine for me.

experiencing a problem with the downloader. I have Metastock version
7.0. The problem is, when I start the downloader then click file
open, The downloader closes itself out. I tried going to windows
compatibility and setting the options for the downloader to windows
98. By doing this I was able to get pass the open file icon. I now
had a list of all of my files but when I try to open a security it
then closes the downloader out. I tried all possible settings for
the compatibility issues and nothing works. Any ideas for this
problem with windows service Pac 2 and metastock 7.0?
