Now I suspect something else is corrupted in your data because broker.master is simply a directory of your symbols. When it's missing it just re-reads your database and recreates the directory. It seems that it cannot properly read all of your symbols and/or it cannot properly write the resulting broker.master to disk.
Unfortunately, I have no more suggestions from here except to work with AB support. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Close Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2006 08:34 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [amibroker] Corrupted Symbol Tree - AB 4.8 will not run - HELP!! Terry: thanks for replying, but for further learning, please note that I first tried doing what you said, and something new happened. Originally, AB would open, status would say Filling Tree, and then the thing would crash. I moved (actually renamed) the broker.master file and restarted AB. This time it did not immediately crash. Rather I saw the symbols being loaded (some 14000+ of them), so it took some seconds. After they were loaded, the status said "Filling Tree" (althought it seemed to be filled) and then the program crashed. So, it rebuilt the file but "something" else was going on because it still crashed. I went to my backup and copied the broker.master from there and everything started normally. So rebuilding a new one did not seem to work in the way you describe and I do not know why. Again, thanks for replying.

In each database you have there are 3 files at the bottom of the list of folders. Broker.master is the key to symbols. Broker.watch is your Watchlist. Broker.workspace is your layouts. Quit amibroker and move the first two files to your desktop/trash. Open amibroker and select that database. The broker.master will rebuild itself. You'll have to rebuild your watchlists yourself. You might try just moving broker.master first and see if that fixes the problem. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Close Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2006 06:45 To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Corrupted Symbol Tree - AB 4.8 will not run - HELP!! I have submitted an emergency request to Marcin, but believe my request will be well back in the line and I am wondering if anyone here has any suggestions or has experienced this. I am running (was running) 4.80.1 fine and decided to "clean up" my watch lists. I opened Organize Symbols, Watchlists and immediately noted that the lists of symbols in boxes on both sides had some non-ascii characters displaying. Most were normal but the first and last usually were computer characters. I closed the Organize Symbols box and clicked on the symbol tree tab, and AB crashed. I closed the program, and restarted it and see a status message "Filling Symbol Tree...Please Wait", then a msg appears "Amibroker for Win32 needs to close." That's it. Won't run. I tried reinstalling an earlier version and while the exe file for 4.79.5 ran ok (no errors), the same event happens when I try to start the program. Also the splash screen still shows 4.80.1 so the reinstall did not change anything. I am not sure which file is corrupted, but can someone tell me if you know which file holds the watchlists. And do you know if I can delete it (whatever the name) and the program will start with a fresh (but blank) one. Any help desparately needed as I am dead in the water.
