Re: Operating system question.

I totally agree. NT is the only way to run TS2000. No daily crashes, easy
recovery from crashes that do occur. No gimmicks, no out of memory errors,
etc. etc. etc.
On another topic, has anyone had trouble since installing the update for SP2
? I follow 30 year tbonds in 3, 9 and 27 minute bars and get 3 different
prices displayed on each chart in the same workspace. Only the 27 minute bar
chart matches the data in the quote window. This was not a problem until I
loaded the Service Pack 2 update. Even if I uninstall TS2000 I now have this
problem all the time. Once again it appears the fix is worse than the
original problem.

Thanks ahead of time,
Dale
