Spots, my hero, my savior, my idol: HELLLLLPPP! RealTickIII News Alerts: rt332.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x5f412f6e" referenced memory at "0x00000000". the memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the application. Clicking on OK just produces a quick flashes in the alert box but it does not go away nor close the program. RealTick's MSG-APP says "Exception caught at file mpro.c line 349" RealTick does not load. Gets as far as getting the permissions when error message appears. I have re-installed realtick using the same old download file. I have cold re-booted several times. I have tried in Win98 as well as WinNT. Multiple re-tries. Same symptoms. It worked yesterday. Since then I changed the PowerDown registry settings, installed NetMedic and Password Tracker. Uninstalled both programs. Did not re-adjust registry. Re-install RealTick and cold re-boot. Same problem. Anyone who helps me will be the new beneficiary of the appellation currently used for Spots. <g> peter

Dave, Spots, & Len Thanks guys..I was hoping you'd respond as you did. Part of my problem is I have so much time here to rethink everything. Wish Humphrey would get off his........ well... I understand his situation...... I guess. He is also closing up shop to attend Comdex on the 13th - ? so if he doesn't get it done by then that pushes my system to who knows when...given the backlog he'll be facing when they get back. But with the above notwithstanding, Sean Daily's book does acknowledge the fact that all NT workstation's are not part of huge networks. He states that any any NT system would benefit from SCSIs "" extensive array of performance-related features and leveraging of NT's asynchronous I/O model". He says if your machine is a server "you should never consider using them (IDE drives) on NT systems acting as servers" Spots and Daves points that other considerations such as the added costs and general system tweaking associated with the use of SCSI should be also weighted (especially for poor novices like myself) are not brought forth in a book with 'Optimizing' in the title and written for advanced useers of NT (not to say that you guys are not advanced in areas other than years) <g> but 'advanced NT user' I am not. It appears that there is no substitute for that which I am lacking namely experience with NT. But that will come in time. I just wanted to make sure..again... that I will be at the right ballpark with this new machine. Thanks again for reconfirming your original advisements.... Nervous Nellie aka Clarence
