Just MetaStock window close inmediately.

Setting the compatibility to Win2000 might work. It fixed exactly that problem with MS and Downloader versions 6.52, 7.03 and 8.01 on my XP Home PC when SP2 was installed. I don't have those versions installed on my XP Pro laptop but I'm sure setting up compatibility is not going to do any harm.

How do you set the compatability? I am having the same problem. Metastock shuts down whenever you try to open a file.

־ Right-click on your MetaStock shortcut and select properties
־ Click on the Compatibility tab and select ‘Run this program in compatibility mode: Windows 2000’
־ Click on ‘Disable visual themes’
־ Click OK

The DownLoader has a separate shortcut that you would also need to set the same as the MetaStock Shortcut.
Also, if you are a Reuters DataLink subscriber, we can email a copy of the DownLoader 10.1.

Sorry , I'm not a Reuters DataLink subscriber. If I set the metastock short cut as the same as Downloader short cut both will shut down if I click File - Open. If I don't set the metastock short cut any compatibility it works fine. Can I use ms 8.0 downloader. Do you have any other advise. Thanks you !

Any version 8 or later you would not want to have compatibility mode enabled. Compatibility mode is simply a work-around to allow 7.2 or earlier versions to run (mostly) without error on Windows XP.
