    Did you try File-->Restore Settings (from a previous day) - or did that not work?

  4. I got a parsing error. I tried all the settings.dayname.xml files; none worked.

    Fortunately I take screenshots of my layout periodically and using column width and RGB settings was able to spend 30 minutes premarket restoring my platform.

    Time well spent.

    :mad:

    could it be that you were using a pretty "old" version (like i did)?

    if so - you have to update it not by using the update feature - you have to install the new version all over the old one.

    i did this today - looks good so far.

  6. Yeah that's what I did and was also at 855.5.

    Oh well. When I'm forced out at gunpoint again in 15 months I'll worry then :D

    I was forced to upgrade last nite due to old version, and the new version cost me thousands as i was short ZB and could not get out for an hour and 10 ticks off/above the lows, IB has thier IPO coming and Im leaving... good riddens IB. They force you to upgrade and thier newestversion has obvious flaws.! A-Holes

    Sorry, no sympathy from me when you've been given plenty of warning of the impending upgrade. Being prepared is part of the job.
