I just find it hard to see why some of us have it, and some do not, with
this 2000i. I am starting to believe that some of may be privileged
while others are jinxed.
A mechanical procedure like a program should be consistent for everyone.
There are just not so many variable of loading 2000i onto a computer
that it should cause these different problems. There must be a platform
that it works on and some that it does not.
I can't see why one person has no problem drawing a trend line in the
heat of a strong real time move with heavy action and I bomb out on a
fast computer even when the pace is slow.
What we need to do is identify where it works.
Maybe Trade Station was designed on a narrow platform and not thoroughly
tested on others to eliminate bugs. Maybe we just need to identify the
components it was designed on and maybe we all can have TS2000i running
like a dream all on the same configuration and computer platform.
Just imagine half of the discussion would disappear and we all be
concentrating on trading, discussing trading methods and making money.

There is such a diverse opinion on 2000i and operating on this or that
platform and operating system.
I suspect the problem is on how it is used and what is used. On a moving
average it may have no problem at all. It will work real time with
absolutely no problems.
But if you want to adjust a trend line while real time data is flowing,
it falls over on any OS or computer you may chose.
What we need is a specific action that 2000i fails to do otherwise we
are comparing oranges and lemons. All judgments must be based on a
standard.
Is there anybody that can draw a TRENDLINE IN REAL TIME and keep
adjusting it without 2000i crashing? I suspect the answer is no.

Well, I've reinstalled TS2k on Win2k more times than I want to remember
over the last year, and I'd say in general, the MOST important thing is
to keep to an absolute minimum what you install on your machine.
Every added app is something else that can screw up your stability..
particularly oddball (no offence mb) 3rd party apps; internet speeders,
downloader tools, virus checkers, firewalls etc etc. Only install what
you
-really- need.
Also, get the latest drivers of everything (screen, sound, network,
etc),
and once it's all working, do NOT muck with it.
I've had machines that went from stable to unusable simply because I
mucked about with changing screen sizes etc. Some of these 3rd party
drivers are VERY badly written. If it works, and its stable, for your
own
sanity, leave it -well- alone :)
Now, things are pretty good, but it took me a few goes (and lots of
pain). I have an absolute minimum of apps, I don't touch the drivers,
and I'm happy. Everything else goes on a different machine. It's worth
forking out for another machine just for personal sanity..
