RE: Globalserver Clean Install

["Dean DiCarlo" <junkmayl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so I reformatted windows 2k.  globalserver and tradestation 2000i now
start up, however, I keep getting a critical error because:

instruction at "0x6c371351" referenced memory at "0x000000004". The memory
could not be "read" click on OK to terminate the program.

I swapped out my ram and still the same error.

I have never gotten this error in the last 6 months that I have been using
tradestation on this machine.  I installed the same version of windows 2k
that I did before and I have added no new peripherals.

This makes about as much sense as the market.  Anyone have any idea what
could possibly be causing this?

Deano,

SP5 is stand alone.  You only need to install SP5 as it is the whole
program. The registry is very simple.  If you have installed any other
service packs of TS2ki then that is likely your problem unless is it data
related or workspace corruption related.  The SP5 should be on a disk from
Omega.  They did have a version on the Omega site but it was not the final
SP5 but only updated SP4c or perhaps any SP4.

The main thing in the registry is to delete the software part called Omega.
That gets all the junk from older SP's out.  Only takes a few minutes to
find it and I will point the way if you want to do it.

I am running Win2k and TS2ki SP5 and it is nearly impossible for me to crash
it.

Jimmy,

Thanks for the response.  I was running SP5, but when I mentioned SP3, it
was in reference to my recent attempts to uninstall ts2ki and reinstall it
and all of the service packs cleanly.  I am just going to go the reformat
route as it would be significant red-tape to edit the registry

Dean,

Are you saying you are running SP3 of TS2ki?  If so you need to have SP5.
If you are running TS2ki with SP5 did you reindex the data by deleting the
files like .idx and two other files?  When you download from Historybank.com
are you downloading more than a day of data?  If so the old data will blow
away your good old data if Omega has changed it.  If you want a good clean
install of TS2k SP5 without reformatting the hard drive then edit your
registry and under software delete the whole Omega section.  Then use find
for Omega and delete all reference to it in the registry.  This takes some
time.

My globalserver crashed due to some 'Ctree' error.  I followed the
instructions on the omega knowledge base but it didn't fix the problem.  So
I decided that since it has been almost 2 months since the last crash where
I had to reinstall everything, that I would just reinstall tradestation and
globalserver fresh.  Well, I have done that 2 times now and still I have a
"critical error" and global server just shuts down when I try to open it.  I
have follewed the knowledge base suggested fix and it still doesn't fix it.
This is particularly frustrating and I have spent hours this weekend trying
to figure this out and it was working fine at the end of last week.  Any
ideas?  I don't want to keep anything, I just want a clean install.  There
must be some corrupt file that is lingering on my system and it is being
picked up by the fresh installations?  Otherwise I can't figure out why
installing fresh from the CD isn't working.  It is worth nothing that i had
to edit the registry in order to keep SP3 from continuously looping throught
the MDAC installation (omega knowledgebase recommended).

I uninstalled and deleted the whole omega research directory, yet I am still
obviously not getting a clean install as globalserver refuses to work.
