I now have Trade Station able to come up. Putting device=ssiact in the
system.ini file seems to have done the trick. (Thanks, IUhrig.) It
will plot charts. It will not plot a number of my saved workspaces but
i believe that may be because the data is no longer available. (Many of
the crosslinked files were 98 data files.) Fortunately the raw
downloads is the one thing i do have a copy of and, if i can get my
Knight Ridder software working, i think i can regenerate the contract
data, if the raw downloads are not corrupted.
When the TS reinstalled, it said "can't open text file" on many of my
indicators that i either wrote or downloaded. I fear they are
corrupted.
So far I have not solved the problem with the KR/Bridge downloading
software. Bridge's tech. support wants me to reinstall those programs
but I have only located one of the 2 disks so far. In any event, I
still need to locate "cscmd.vbx" and "csinvis.vbx".
Blaine M., I did not do a format before reinstalling windows. Since I
didn't have good backups of many things it seemed I should try it first
without a format. Was this an error? Obviously if i had current
backups I should reformat but I would lose a lot under current
circumstances. OTOH, I hate to have a barely unscrambled system that
might crash again.
Once I have enough cash to buy it, i intend to get one of the removable
1G backup systems. I saw one like a zip drive but that could hold 1G on
a $40 disk.
