Mark,
I had a Sony VAIO desktop machine that I needed Omega Tech Support's help
on. It was a long time ago, but I think the problem had to do with making a
change to the BIOS default setting. I think the BIOS was shutting down the
printer port if nothing needed printing so the software couldn't detect the
block on the printer port.
I know this doesn't sound anything like your problem, but maybe there is
something else BIOS related with your problem as well, since you seemed to
have tried everything else.

| Subject: mjohnson Help! TS4 won't unpack/setup/run on Sony VAIO
|
|
| Santa bought me a very nice 1" thick notebook computer
| and I'm trying to migrate my environment there. But
| I am stymied by Omega Tradestation 4 build 19.6 and I
| fervently hope some kind list reader can help me.
|
| The symptoms:
|
| 1. The original Omega CDROM containing TS4 loads just fine
| on my old desktop computer, which is running Windows
| 98. The program "setup.exe" runs correctly and TradeStation
| 4 installs correctly.
|
| 2. But this same CDROM does NOT load on the new Sony VAIO.
| I get a fatal error "ISINST30 caused a general protection
| fault in _INS0433._MP at 001f:00000085"
|
| 3. The Sony VAIO is running Windows 98 Second Edition
|
| 4. To see whether the problem might lay with the CDROM
| drive and/or the Omega CDROM disk, I copied the original
| Omega disk onto a fresh virgin blank CD-R disk, and
| then tried this disk in both computers. It ran fine
| on the desktop machine (under Windows 98), and gave the
| same error message on the VAIO notebook machine
| (under W98 Second Edition).
|
| I am wondering whether this is a common problem that lots
| of people have already seen, and fixed? What's the fix?
| Is it well-known that Omega and the VAIO just don't play
| nicely together?
|
| Grateful for your expertise,
| -Mark Johnson janitor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
