>> Did you do a complete reinstall, with nothing reused from before?

Yes, I did. I backed up my data (just in case I might want it back. I
don't.)

- uninstalled SP3 completely.
- Reinstalled SP3, ran it once and closed it
- Upgraded to SP4b.
- proceeded to reacquire and reload data
- reimported a couple of my saved indicators, nothing fancy

TS2000i SP4b was then noticably more stable for end of day work. I had been
having problems plotting more than one symbol on a chart, and odd crashes
were common place. I have not had one single crash since upgrading. Not one.
I used to have one a day some weeks, certainly at least a couple a week.

So, I'd say its measurably better.

In addition I moved over to PCQuote for a data feed, and I've found that my
system utilization has dropped remarkably during intraday operations.  I
collect tick data for 8 futures; 1 minute bars for everything else. I'm
collecting 93 symbols right now - I'm sure I could collect 500 without
issues based on what I'm seeing.

I'm still evaluating PCQuote from a quality of data perspective - I don't
have much in the way of complaint at present.

So there you go, a positive story.

Best regards
