ok thanks. Yes I read that about W7 Home versus the Pro version. If true this is really bad. I ofcourse have the Home version. I always understood that you need the Pro version if you have complicated networks but my little home network works fine with the Home version. regards, Ed From: danielwardadams Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2010 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Re: OT: Windiws Mail Ed, I had a very recent version of Java (not more than 5-6 weeks old) but I saw there was a 7/30/2010 version so I downloaded that yesterday. However, I'm reluctant to download the latest version of TWS until IB notifies me my specific problem is fixed. So, bottom line, Java isn't effecting me one way or the other. Regarding my more general Amibroker hanging, etc. problem, I've sent several crash reports to Amibroker support. Tomasz identified two problems which had probably caused some of my problems: (1) I had a beta version of AB (version 5.30.0) and not the final release version and (2) I had a version of Quotes Plus which he said was incompatible with W7. After fixing these problems (updated both programs), however, I'm still having problems and Tomasz is looking at the data from those runs. At least one of the problems resulted when running with Amiquote data from Yahoo so it's not entirely a data source problem. Besides Amibroker, other variables in the problem are IO and Windows 7. Since I had run my (weekly) IO job for several years without a problem, I'm thinking of going back to XP Pro if I don't get the issue resolved shortly. I still have XP Pro on an old laptop so think I'll try to verify the latest versions of QP and AB run on it before changing one or both of my other computers back. The laptop isn't a viable long-term solution since it's slow and memory constrained. Somebody had mentioned compatibility problems (programs hanging, etc) with W7 Basic that aren't problems in W7 Pro. I am running with W7 Ultimate which is presumably one step up from Pro. Not much useful information for you above other than to let you know I'm still having hanging and crash problems.

When I look at what processes are running I only see jusched.exe *32 running. However, I have not been notified that there was an update for Java (but have not been updated on my XP machine either). Usually Java notified me but has not done lately. So possibly the problem is there, not sure yet. > > For the TWS I just downloaded the latest Standalone download.

But, if TWS is 32 bit, are you running with a 32 bit java? Likewise for 64 bit java for a 64 bit TWS (if 64 bit TWS even exists). > > Mike > > --- In [email protected], "Edward Pottasch" <empottasch@> wrote: > > > > yes thanks I have checked that before and it even happened when Java was up to date. > > > > Today however I need an update of Java so maybe it helps, > > > > regards, Ed > > > > > > > > > > From: Tomasz Janeczko > > Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 10:46 AM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: OT: Windiws Mail > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > Interactive Brokers TWS is Java program.

Will search a bit on the IB board if this TWS vanishing has been reported. It doesn't happen everyday but I have my XP machine running and a new W7 machine and it only happens on de W7 machine. I hear the bells going that AB's real time connection is down and then I find the TWS has completely disappeared, > > > > regards, Ed > > > > > > > > > > From: danielwardadams > > Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 4:05 AM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [amibroker] Re: OT: Windiws Mail > > > > > > > > Ed, > > This won't make you feel any better but I've also been having some weird problems with a recent Windows 7 installation, e.g., Amibroker hanging problem when trying to start it up.

It didn't vanish on me but didn't have some functionality it did before (attached stop orders not working properly). After "chatting" with IB support people, I decided to go back to a version I knew worked correctly (end of May TWS build). That has been working okay for me and I'm to be notified if (when) my problem is fixed. > > > > Regarding the AB and IO problems I'm suspecting my database is corrupted but I've recreated it (several times with both Quotes Plus and Amiquote) and the problem reoccurs. > > > > Dan Adams > > > > --- In [email protected], "Edward Pottasch" <empottasch@> wrote: > > > > > > hi Ara, > > > > > > doesn't happen every day here. Will look on IB message boards if I can find something. Other strange thing happen on this Window 7 machine as well. Sometimes when I start Amibroker it "hangs". Need to kill it and start it again. Other times when I shut down WIndows 7 it also "hangs" and have to turn switch off to turn the machine of.
