When I started Metastock 9.0 earlier today, I got an error saying, "Failed to load sectors & industries symbol file." Realizing I must have inadvertently deleted a file, I reinstalled Metastock and all was working fine. But now, the error has returned and as far as I know, I've not done anything to delete any of MS's files. All I've done since I reinstalled MS was do some system tests. Any thoughts on how I can track down what I did to delete the file?

Thanks!

I too had this error. Although my xml doc was not deleted. So I deleted it and performed the 'update database' action. After updating the problem still existed. So I reinstalled the deleted xml and re-performed the update. The problem still existed. So I reinstalled The Downloader software and it resolved the matter. But now none of my symbols (invalid symbol) are recognised by Reuters Datalink - even when I set up a new security via the look up function! I am not happy and would appreciate some advice. Thanks.
