update "problem" client terminal to 218th build

Thank you, but can you please help me what part or syntax causes the error ? I want to remove the the part so it can run with older 217 version. I have sent you an email and attached my EA. Kindly help

 

No syntax problem.

Just ex4-format some changes in the 218th build.

Dear moderators or other member who can help,


I tried to run my EA in my computers (I have 2 computers with windows XP) and it worked WITHOUT any problem. When 2 of my friends tried with XP and Vista there was

crash error. These is Vista error :

Kindly help,

Thank you


I found on Vista and Windows 7 if you navigate to the file MetaEditor.exe on your installation folder of MQ4. Right click on the file and go to Properties and then the Compatibility tab. Set the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3.

I have not had a crash since this modification.. Yea!!

 

SOLUTION

I have found the crash to happen on my machine only when the following scenario exists (that I have found so far):

1) MetaEditor was closed with no files open, so when I start MetaEditor again there are no files open. If I open a file and try to copy text, MetaEditor crashes.

SOLUTIONS that have worked for me:

1) Leave a dummy script open all the time, so that when you start MetaEditor again, at least one file is open all ready.

OR

2) If you start MetaEditor and no files are open, create a new dummy scipt and then open the file you want to edit. If you are creating a new file to begin with, it won't crash when you copy text (at least it hasn't for me).

Hope this helps, it has worked perfectly for me.
