Gerry Market News is a good feature. The problem is that news released on CCN or CNW can take hours to reach your site (including Market News). Just look at the time stamps on the TCS news today and if you want I can find you hundreds of examples weekly. Could you please give a good technical explaination on why my ticker continues to lock up 3-4 times a day with no warning? I have 256M ram, tons of Harddrive space, a DSL line and the latest version of IE and Win98 so I sure don't think it is my computer. What would be great is a green block in the corner of the ticker. As long as it is getting a feed it stays green and turns off if the feed stops. Presently there is no way to know when you ticker locks up. The flashing orange bar does not come on when the ticker locks. Best Regards KEITH

Hi Gerry, I have the same lockup of the ticker as Keith. Yesterday, it happened again for no good reason. It just stops and I have to start a new ticker. I have the Portfolio View in another browser working at the same time with no problems. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting Stockwatch using the ticker File option with no success. There should be (at the least until a solution can be found) a way to reconnect (reset the connection) without starting a new ticker and having to load, position and size all the windows (historical charts, daily charts, MD etc.). A data feed indicator as Keith suggests is an excellent idea. The PC has 500Mhz Intel CPU, Windows98, 128Mb memory, 4 ATI 16Mb Expert98 video cards, lots of free disk space. Regards, Nick
