When TS2000i is
running on Win98 vs. Win2k, it does not allocate memory
"properly".....
it will cause the
machine to crash as it over-allocates memory....and does NOT release
it....
and will
eventually slow even a Pentium 4, 2 gigahertz machine to a slow
crawl.

Somehow, the
improved memory management in Win2K and WinXP "cleans-up" the mess that TS2000i
creates.
If TS2000i was
properly allocating memory, it would run identically on all 3 operating systems.
IT DOES
NOT.

size=3>Sean:I run TradeStation on a Win98SE machine also. I make
sure the computer does not have any nonessential programs open or
running. To check on this, I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete together once.
A "Close Program" window will pop up. I see only Explorer, Systray and
the TradeStation programs open. Nothing else. You may want to try
highlighting those programs in this window that you don't recognize, and press
the End Task button below. That should close the programs and remove
them from ram memory and free up the resources. Hopefully that will
solve your problem. If you removed any program you still need, just
reboot the computer and they will show up on the list again. Another
suggestion about getting rid of all the other junk programs in your computer
is to buy a new hard disk (about $80 now). Format and install it as the
C drive (master) in the computer. Load only the programs you want.
You can then hookup the old hard disk back to the computer. Win98 should
recognize it now as a D drive (slave) if you set the pins in the hard disk
properly. So you can still call up some programs or files there if you
still want them. And copy the TradeStation server data files from the
old drive to the appropriate directory in the new C drive.Another
advantage of having a D drive is, you can "backup" files from the C drive into
the D drive by simply highlight and copy.Good luck,Bill

done just about everything everyone here has suggested to speed up my PC. Is
it possible it could simply be because I am on a dialup connection? During the
day when quotes are coming in my cpu usage stays at 100% all day and after a
while, my chart slows down considerably. At night when there isnt much data
coming in my cpu usage is around 20%. Dialup is fine for my current style of
trading.....1 to 3 trades a day with a broker who has phone support. This is
all i can think of, my pc runs fine in every possible way, it just cant seem
to process the quotes.<FONT lang=0 style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"
