Ken, others, I stopped with all of it when I couldn't install Virtual. Have you gone ahead and brought your files up to date? The data disc I got is dated March 31, 1998. I guess I can just log on to the site mentioned and it will automatically bring my data current... is that all there is to doing this? Apparently, some beta users were reporting conflicts between QP Virtual and Norton utilities. A beta version can be downloaded from: qp2.com along with an update to QP2 itself (which should be installed first). I've installed both, and it seems to work fine (I've tried SuperCharts, MetaStock, and OmniTrader). Kind of amazing really. I have noticed that my screen saver (and thus my system) has locked a couple times, but I've only been messing around this for a few hours. Regarding data, the program disk contains additional data which updates the database, so you shouldn't be more than a couple days behind. Hope this helps. --Roger

Jan... I stopped with all of it when I couldn't install Virtual. Have you gone ahead and brought your files up to date? The data disc I got is dated March 31, 1998. I guess I can just log on to the site mentioned and it will automatically bring my data current... is that all there is to doing this? Ken We had problems with the original qp2 web site. www.qp2.com now points to a server in Atlanta that's on the backbone, and seems pretty fast. We left the virtual in beta status because your system will lock up if Norton 2 and the virtual driver are both installed. The driver works prettey well in most other configurations, although some people still report random hangs from time to time. We will be working on thse problems, but it's a long process. You can download a virtual installation and the latest qp2 release from www.qp2.com. These 2 files work together. The data cd ends on 3-31, there is a database on the program cd that brings the data current to the date of the program cd. When you download, you only have to download from the date of the program cd. Gary
