I sure didn't want to get in the middle of this discussion, but against my better judgement, here goes.... Running Qcharts on a PC with 128 meg of ram is absolutely not a problem, so long as you're not not trying to run a boat load of other applications. I've never had any significant problems with the Qcharts application, all of the problems have been with the data feed being unreliable. If the 4.1 Beta is unstable for someone, just go back to 4.0, which works fine. I do agree than WIn2000 is more reliable than W98, but one of my PCs is still on W98 and it works OK as long as I don't try to run too many things at once on it.

Brooke may be many things but she certainly does not lack quickness of perception or intellect. You somehow remind me of King Richard who frequented this thread telling everyone how they should defrag, run scan disk, etc etc. to solve QCharts problems. Seems King (Poor) Richard never had any problems when the vast majority of users were unable to keep the feed going. "you cannot pretend to run it flawlessly with an unstable Windows98 and only 128 mbs of ram." I know, you know and the entire community of Qchart uses know that it does not matter how many mbs of ram nor what platform one is using...QCharts data is terrible, the servers are overloaded and running all the ram in the world will not help that! that is the way it is whether you admit it or not.

badly written code in dozens of different programs, .dll hell Exactly, QCharts is certainly one of dozens, a true leader of the pack in this regard. More importantly, the back end of QCharts is even more problematic, unable to service adequately an ever dwindling subscriber base. And laughingly, after promising for years now to have adequate data repair tools (for the Data Integrity Department to do their Integrity Thang), they still are woefully short in this area. Just imagine, an entire day of intraday data toast! Oh well, its par for the course, and certainly not worth paying any attention to. Yup, things are just grand! PS: Spytrdr, I'm really, really quite pleased that you are the 1% of users that has no problems and no complaints. That's really terrific! Pat yourself on the back or something. End of discussion.
