Did you try reinstalling TS4?
Jimmy
Fans? You think it might be overheating? Well, I guess I can put a temp gauge on
it but it seems OK. And you reckon I should clean out the dust with a vacuum
cleaner too, I guess. I did that 2 years ago, so it won't hurt. As for the temp
that it runs at, it's an old CPU without a built-in gauge on the CPU.
The performance in Task Manager has always been nailed at 100% as soon as I open
the Omega Server - I never thought it would cause problems.
I allocated 4 gigs to the virtual memory.
I recently cleared the hard drive down to free up 10 Gigs, I ran Defrag, I ran
Norton Disk Doctor and scandisk. So it's pretty clean.
And for an old TS4 machine, it's got a pretty good spec.
My tinkering with the system shows that it's not the FileAppend() function
that's failing, it looks like it's this if statement that fails:
if DateToJulian(Date) = LastCalcJDate then
... as if TS4 isn't running the system over the last bar of the data. Or perhaps
even any of the data for that market - even though the chartscanner looks like
it does because it shows that market symbol in the dialog box when scanning.
