My understanding is that Metastock 10 is not compatible with Window Vista. The latest version Metastock 10.1 is now compatible with Window Vista and Window XP

My recall is that as soon as people began to install V 10 they found that it
wouldn't run on Windows XP. There were postings to Metastock web sites on
this problem, and within a few days Equis sent out notices that V 10 will
only run under Windows Vista and that all earlier versions would not run
under Vista.
Since Equis has not sent out new versions of Metastock I am led to assume
that Microsoft modified Vista so that it is now backward compatible. By the
way there were many other windows programs that wouldn't run with Vista.
Companies had to remove Vista and reinstalled XP. Dell and other computer
manufacturers will supply computers with Windows XP installed, and
Microsoft will continue to supply and support Windows XP .
If anyone has more information, please post it.

Hi Lionel,
Just a bit of history of MS v10 in my experience.
I upgraded from V7.2 to V10 before Vista was in vogue. Then later I received
a notice from Equis not to run V10 on Vista as it is not yet compatable.
Then still later I received a notice that I can now run V10 under MS Vista
and could download the upgrade - V10.1
So, from my side of the river it appeared that V10 was always compatible
with XP and that Vista was the problem.
I do not use Vista, so never gave this issue much thought.

Carl thanks for this information.
I wonder how they did this as they haven't sent out any upgrades to V 9.x,
but they must have fixed up V 10 so that it would run under XP. Perhaps
Microsoft decided to fix up Windows Vista to improve it's back
compatibility.
Just read that Dell is providing XP on new computers.

Metastock 10 is the only version that will run under MS Vista and it wont
run under Windows XP.
All other versions of Metastock will not run under Vista.
Metastock sent out several mailings on this earlier this year.

Hi Venomnf
I suggest that you set Compatibility mode for these two applications
(MetaStock & DownLoader) to Windows 2000 if you haven't already done so.
This is particularly important if your operating system is Win XP Service
Pack 2 (same probably applies to Vista). While it does not seem to tally
with the errors you are experiencing, my experience has proved time and
again that fixing the problems with a known solution often gets rid of other
less clear-cut problems as well.
Right-clicking on a shortcut, Start Menu item or an EXE file and click on
Properties to bring up the Compatibility tab.
Regards
Roy

I have, for several months, been unable to run MS7.2 satisfactorily
(including the downloader). After much trial and error, (including
changing my hard disk to one 6 times the size!)I still have the
errors. However it seems to be limited to the loading of the AIM
(Alternative Investment Market - I'm in the UK looking at the FTSE
etc)folder which instigates the crash. Sometimes it loads with the
other folders but will always crash on making an exploration.
The AIM folder consists of some 1800 securities. My manual tells me
the program allows for 2000 securities in a folder.
Has anyone else had such problems?
Is there a 'tweak' I need to change in MS?
Is there a limit to the amount of data in a folder, as opposed just
to the number of securities?
Grateful for any suggestions.
Meanwhil I offer that of all the systems I use, the most consistent
is a support resistance one I found some years ago:
Open:
Resistance :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C, 10,
S),C),HHV(H,10));
Support :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(C,Mov(C, 10,
S)),LLV(L,10));
Resistance;
Support;
C>Resistance
Close:
Resistance :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C, 10,
S),C),HHV(H,10));
Support :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(C,Mov(C, 10,
S)),LLV(L,10));
Resistance;
Support;
C<Support
I am investigating building a portfolio of the most responsive
Investment Trusts (closed end investment vehicles)- cyclicals etc.
Thanks
