Randy,
I am running a dual processor Dell with Windows 2000 and TS2k SP5. I
crashed Ts2k Wednesday. I use it pretty hard but not as hard as some.
Pieces of the program just disappear. One example is the sound scheme.
Alerts quit sounding as the whole area in Windows for TS2k sounds is just
gone. The charting screen just goes white. This is the same bug as SP1
though not nearly so bad. Indicators do not update correctly. Parts of
lines just go away and come back. On and on. Pro does many of the same
things. Pro is nice. I like it however are you going to trust Tradestation
for data. We trusted them when TS2k was released two years ago and the
first year was a nightmare and we still have bugs.

Just an interesting observation . Given all the known and apparent bugs in
TS2K and the wide range of users. Why is their experience
with TS2K so different.
Not unlike others on this list I had multiple crashes on Win 98 but just
over
1 year ago I switched to W2K and TS has never crashed
running real time and trading everyday. Yet others with probably the same
hardware setup and datafeed would report problems. I'm
making no claims or excuses for the software just a question .
Regards
Randy Smith
