Anyone else using Esignal as a datafeed for TS2000i, especially using a Win XP operating system, I'd like to get your suggestions:
I switched over from DTN satellite about 6 months ago, was running WIN2000, everything working great (except DTN data outages which were their fault).
About 2 weeks ago I started getting these blue screens of death, spontaneous crashes. I have had some virus attacks, which I cleaned up, inspected registry, ran remote web based anti-virus progams, ran 2 local anti-virus programs, etc.
I have a system with 512 meg of RAM, WIN2000, Athlon 1600 (AMD), 30 gig HD, broadband cable modem feed through a router.
Switched out harddrives (to eliminate the virus damage possibility) with a new one and loaded Windows XP, went to MS update site and loaded all updates. Then fresh load of TS2000i, upgraded through service packs to version 5, (822), as I have done many times before. Using Esignal 7.5 ver. at request of Esignal techs --- less buggy they said.
I admit I did save the complete server folder from previous TS2000i and copied it over (although I tested copying in the new, bare bones server folder from new almost empty setup in and it even crashed regularly).
Now Windows XP is crashing every 15 min to 60 min., with various messages like:
1) cannot find ntfs.sys (I did a restore from Win XP CD),
2) Bad Pool Caller,
3) Video driver failed to initialize (tried replacing video card and with newer driver)
4) Cannot find Win32K.sys, restored from Win XP CD
5) The instruction at 0x73dd1351 referenced memory ar 0x00000004. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate.
Updated (flashed) my motherboard bios, no help. Turned off video shadowing in the bios - - - no change.
Have new RAM ordered, will replace next week and see if RAM is the prob.
Thought that if this is a hardware problem, maybe I ought to load TS2000i and Esignal on another computer - - - choose a rock solid DELL box I have. Hmmmmmm, a bit more stable but Global Server still crashes twice a day or so with same message as other computer:
The instruction at 0x73dd1351 referenced memory ar 0x00000004. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate.
Just today completed a test on the most unstable PC, by NOT starting global server and TS2000i, instead just downloading a 295 meg. file - - - - took 3 hours on broadband connection - - absolutely no problem. Next I'll try running only Esignal datafeed and Esignal charting program - - I'm suspected TS global server is VERY picky about what hardware it's running on . . . . if so, could be tough trying to figure out what hardware is best.
Does anybody have experience with TS2000i running on a Windows XP system using Esignal or other datafeed ? If so, how stable is your system ?
Any suggestions on what I should try next to diagnose this sucker ?
Regards,
John
