I have a brand new XP Box...first thing I did is install Meta 9.0 to make sure it would run to my satisfaction...sadly, and price data formatted as "Bars" looks like little dashed lines.
Has anyone seen this happen?
The machine has an NVidea GEForce 6600 graphics card but I have a hard time thinking that is the problem.
Thanks!

Make sure to install the nvidia driver from nvidia's website, do not use microsoft's driver for your video card ...

Sorry let me add some more information to this, so that my answer makes more sense. Microsoft will recognize most cards with an nvidia chipset an will have a substandard driver available for it and install it by default. These drivers will not use the fullpower of your card, if you do not install the nvidia drivers ( the official, sanctioned, up to date driver ) then it is just about the same as having a ferrari but only using the first and second gear ...
Damn I love my explanations :oops:
I hope that makes sense.

I am pretty sure the drivers are Nvidea...my right click includes all sorts of NVidea specialty tools.

Right click on the background of your desktop and select properties, click on settings and then advanced. click on the troubleshoot tab and make sure your slider is set to full.
Also try to use a lower resolution, just in case ...

Or are simply looking at a tick chart (which only has a close value, no OHL)...?
