I have an old single core laptop that I have used (in the past, and likely again soon) 512MB Ram, 1.7ghz cpu .. only used for Market Analyzer, but it was monitoring& recording 22 forex pairs plus running 3 indicators on the MA for both tick and minute data. Only problems were related to connectivity on XP Pro. Running very intense backtesting analysis can be a challenge, so for that I use a much heavier resource capable 8core/64gb. My guesstimate is that based on the hardware spec you mention there really isnt a hardware problem, but I would guess .NET is not functioning properly and needs fixing, or as in my preference, revert to an image of the original OS install and do a clean NT7R3 install from there.

Writing to you from the wonderful province of Ontario, Canada. Home to the world's biggest natural negative ion generator, the Niagara Falls, and to those that dare to know how to go over it in a barrel. SALUTE!
I am likewise running NT 7 on a 6x AMD and the only issue I've had so far is sometimes with a multi-instrument chart (like ES or NQ with Adv/Dec data) the horizontal spacing between bars will become very wide so that I can't see much data on the chart. Ctrl-up/dn arrow keys will not fix it. Originally I thought it might be a session templates mis-match (since ^ADD is only available RTH while the others continue overnite) so I set the instruments both to 24/7, but it didn't fix it. The strange thing is, it does not happen all the time, and I have not narrowed it down to anything specific (like a day of the week, or after a holiday, or whatever...) where I can repeat the problem on-demand.
Many thanks for your note. Maybe I am wrong with what I think. It is clearly true what you say about support to 30.000. I really appreciate the NT support, they always try to help very quick. Let me say so, I ordered a new PC and when i get problem again I will refer to your note as you proposed.
I dont have deeper PC or network skills and can`t find out what was wrong. What I know is that the usual hints on how to improve performance didnt help.
So again thanks a lot for your and the NT support.
Do you use DHCP? If you do, check the lease time. Is the lease time too short? When the lease expires, the computer will lose connection for a second. But that's enough to kill your NT connection.
I've got NT7 running under Vista on a Laptop at home - never a connection issue, once connected. However, I'm also running NT7 on Windows XP (via VMWare Fusion on a MAC) at work & get "connection lost" quite frequently, but then it re-establishes. One thing I noticed today was, every time we get a fax here at work, I also hear "connection lost". Odd?
Just when receiving faxes. The fax line is also the DSL line. Still, though, that just started recently, as far as I know. But it seems odd to me that an incoming fax on that line would disrupt the DSL signal.
After all, it's what you learn AFTER you know it all, that counts!
