SF (Nok) - were you around end of June when we were trading LBRT? - i think there could be some good short term playing here - out over the weekend in Business Week was an article on Interactive TV and MSFT falling behind on deliverables - companies mentioned in there waiting for MSFT were thinking of switching to LBRT - also this old news.....In return for its $100 million, Cisco gets just under 4% of Liberate's stock, a stake it can file away with the hundreds of other investments and acquisitions it has made in recent years. The deal makes Cisco Liberate's third-largest shareholder, behind Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL - news), which owns 41% of the company, and America Online (NYSE: AOL - news), which holds a 9% stake - it was as high as 148 at the end of last year and took its tumble along with everything else - yet we may be getting close for it to start rebounding! - what do you guys think? Thanks, C26

Lee I agree with SF. I have been running Qcharts on three different systems, and several different releases, almost from the time it came out, and have NEVER found it to cause any problems with my systems. I have found that various pieces of software, especially shareware, caused a lot of problems. I no longer use shareware on my systems. The biggest problems I have had have been from not keeping my Windows software updated via the MS website, and especially from me messing around with Windows myself, and allowing others to do so. The worst disaster I ever had was from one of the computer "experts" at work coming over to help me with some problems I was having. He changed various parameters in Windows to make it "run better". Well it did for a couple of days, and then became very unstable. Ended up having to reload Windows from scratch to correct the problem. He didn't know what he changed and neither did I. I'm sorry you have been having problems, I know how frustrating they can be, but there are over 1000 users of Qcharts, and if it was causing problems, it would have been reported long before now. Keep Windows updated, stay away from shareware and "mickey mouse" programs even if you buy them from a computer store, and don't let folks screw around with your Windows operating system and you'll find your system will stay a lot more stable.

Small Fry, I have been having one CONSISTENT problem with Qcharts running on my Dell..."Lost Cluster" Errors where Qcharts and my whole system freezes, a line of bright green vertical lines appears across the top of the entire screen and I have to reboot. Upon rebooting, Windows repairs the problems which takes a few minutes. It happens at least once a day, and only when I leave qcharts idle for more than 10 minutes. Possibly it happens when alerts trigger and are not turned off. Because it never seems to happen when I'm just sitting here watching, only when I leave my office. If I run to the mailbox and leave it running, guaranteed it's locked up when I return. This started before I installed the chat room voice software. I do have both Real Player, MS Media Player and my Creative Soundblaster stuff installed... Using 3/1b2.Any clues? Susan PS, I can fix ANY mac problem on my own, hardware or software but Windows pcs? Clueless : ) PS#2: Love that fibonacci tool on Qcharts, WOW. It's so incredibly accurate!!!!! Amazing.
