There is nothing to do with Windows 2000 - it's the same at Win 95, 98, Me,
NT and 2000.
The bug is in "DBC Subserver" and "DBC Online Subserver" of Global Server
and it's very simple: if the trade quote for the Futures symbol has
TradeVolume different from zero, it causes Global Server to get all
available CPU resources for some amount of time and this causes chart
flicks, hour glass mouse cursor etc.
Ex-Omega just hard-coded the old behavior of DBC Signal data feed - no trade
volume for the Futures.
This is not the issue for any other kind of symbols, so you may add your "ES
U1" to Global Server as STOCK (with the same settings - CME as the exchange,
price scale, exchange settings etc) - and it will work correctly.
