Re: TS 8.4 Bld 1688

Hi Carroll,
I agree with you about upgrading, I know both of us have been around 
this list for sometime so it sounds as though our shared experiences are 
showing.
I just wanted to add that after using 8.4 I went back to 8.3 .  I have 
8.3 on several computers as back ups using 2000 Pro as well as XP. Both 
OS work fine with 8.3.  The only issue I had with 8.4 was getting 3 
windows set properly on my trading screen.  I like to have the actual 
TFZ data, Trade Manager and Easy Language output bars on one screen. I 
also have the oder and status bars displayed.  When I upgraded to 8.4 I 
had an issue with the Trade manager screen.  Every time I attempted to 
choose between tabs, balance, orders etc, the Trade manager screen would 
maximize and  icons, that I don't use , would appear. I couldn't see the 
other windows and I had to take a few extra steps to restore the screen.
I didn't want to bother with attempting to solve the issue so I simply 
went back to 8.3.   I'll deal with the issue later if I need to.
Just wanted to share.

Best Regards,

Tom
