I doughty your hard drive is at fault. What
is your graphic card? Is it built into the mother board? That is far
more likely to be the problem. Intense graphic applications, like
redrawing a screen every tic, require a state of the art graphic card.
Graphic chip sets built into the mother board are cheep and suck processing
power. Likewise an underpowered graphic card will do the
same.
No offence, but if you valued your time at $30.00
you have spent enough time trying to fix this computer to afford a major
upgrade. The road to success in trading is littered with people who tried
to get by on the cheap, cheep (or old) computer + cheep internet
connection = disaster. Frankly if you cannot afford to
upgrade your equipment and service, you can not afford to trade.
I and most people here have learned this, sometimes the hard
way. Trading is a business, if you don't have enough capital for decent
equipment, you don't have enough capital to properly fund a trading account
to withstand the inevitable draw downs. Please do yourself a favor:
Prepare a business plan, including funds for equipment, services, office and
living expenses, etc. before you begin trading. Take the time to set your
self up as a business and you will reduce the risk of failure.
Good luck and good trading,
Ray Raffurty

Subject: [RT] Benchmarking Hard
drive
Sorry to take so much time with this.....but
hopefully its helping some others as well. I benchmarked my hard drive with
that program and took several readings. Most were between 4300 and 5200 kbps
when the defaults were used. I cant find any info about whether or not this is
good. I have a 3 year old, 9.5 gb hard drive with about 4 gbs left. Is this as
expected?

use with care, backup your registry):<A

Ok i think I found the problem.....I only have 14% of resources free, so
how do I fix?"Make sure you aren't starting programs you don't need
and then reboot.orClean install of Win2K.How
about your HD? Is it old, slow, and/or full? A freebie called MPower can
benchmark your HD. A slow or corrupted HD will cause your data to back
up when your 'puter tries to write it to the HD.FWIW, I have an old
AMD 900, 400 symbols/ 30 charts+, QCharts, Dynastore, TS4, and NO
delay.BW"I just bought some great software that
really helps with trends....but i cant use in intraday.> >
