Hi
I am using Alpari Metatrader and just updated and all seems to be going well.
Can I suggest you re install maybe? Your templates for charts and profiles if saved should still be there.
If you are still having problems check with the broker that you are using and also read thru the tips and tricks on a sticky thread at the top of this metatrader forum.
Hope this helps
Antra

here 's for interbankfx, dirrectly download the whole file and re install it, easier for me, can be download with the help of download manager too....
as for other broker, just ask their link dirrectly

i never again download the update piece by piece

I generally find this is a problem with one of my profiles and not the update.

Close MT4

Take all of your profiles out of the profile folder and copy them to the desktop, MT4 should then open OK.

Then what I do is close it, add 1 profile back to the profile folder, then check that MT opens and the profile works.

Do this with each indicvidual profile until you find the one that causes the problem.

This will have to be deleted and redone.

temporary solution until u find out/fix why it crashes on updates:
if you are running XP, you can set a restore point BEFORE you install the update. [allpgms/accessories/systemtools/systemrestore ]

when you get the update msg, DON'T run it if you havent made the restore point.
as far as your chart setups, you should also backup those files.

Thanks Ninja. We're back to normal with out the *very useful* russian language update.

Trendlines/Channels I can't seem to save properly so they can be recovered, they're the only thing that takes time to draw on to all my pairs and adjust/readjust etc. The indicators (MACD, RSI, MA's) are the easy part that stay with the templates... I think it's the MACD/RSI indicator I have that forces the fatal error when I install the updates (as the indicator window is blank when MT4 first loads before the crash)... works fine without the updates though *shrug*.

CAD/JPY (+74) taking off, GU (+244) and Gold (+820) plummeting has made the day not nearly as bad as I thought it would go, actually the best day this week... maybe I should crash my MT4 more often?

Thanks again Ninja,
Rob
