I'm running Vista-32, 3gb RAM, on a Dell inspiron 1525. I use Norgate Premiumdata, US-history going back to 1985.
I started with 5.20 but moved up through the betas as they were released, until the latest Alpha. AB has always hanged (even before using the betas) or went non-responsive, whenever I attempt to close the program, and sometimes when I open the database to run the Norgate integration script. It has sometimes went non-responsive when running simple optimizations (never complicated ones). Typically this occurs as soon as the first step completes running. It almost always has went non-responsive when switching between meta-stock format and local database. When I downloaded the Alpha, everything got much worse. It started during the installation process, when AmiBroker's auto back-up program crashed. Then, it started crashing/hanging during almost every optimization. I have run Prime95, scandisk, and I defrag my disks regularly. I have never had any problems with this computer, which only runs Tradestation, office suite, and mozilla, besides AmiBroker. I have moved the original AmiBroker folder, and re-installed 5.20. I have re-installed all of the Norgate/Premium data files. I am still getting crashes directly as the first optimization step finishes. I have been trying to problem-solve this for a week now and am getting nowhere. Do I sound desperate to get this running again? I feel that way. Thanks for any help.
