Hi There,

My Metatrader Compiler stopped working on Vista ..

It happened after I updated once ..

I have tried to uninstall and re-instal 213 .. or other versions ..

Still I get same message .. Metatrader Language Compiler stopped working .. Windows trying to find solution ..

So I can not compile any indicators or autotraders ..

Any help would be highly appreciated

Damn Metaquotes, you think they might have the brains to give it a go on Vista before releasing it.
The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.

Get his message every time I hit the compile button. In addition to the message it fails to compile of course.

I got a response from MetaQuotes support that resolved the problem:

To solve this issue you should enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) for essential Windows programs and services only:

1. Click with the right mouse button on the 'Computer' link on your desktop and select the 'Properties' item.
2. Select the 'Advanced system settings' item.
3. Go to the 'Advanced' tab.
4. Click the 'Settings' button in the 'Performance' section.
5. Go to the 'Data Execution Prevention' tab.
6. Select the first item ('Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only') and click Ok.
7. Click Ok in the 'System Properties' window and close the 'System' window.
8. Restart operating system.
9. Start MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal.

There is another way to compile this:

(1) Get Microsoft Virtual PC ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en )

(2) Install VISTA or XP into the Virtual machine (whatever you prefer it dosent matter, VISTA in this case hoever)

(3) Install MetaTrader as usual and then just compile it

This can also be helpful if you have XP and wanted to compile it in (and for) Vista, without upgrading from XP to Vista.

Dunno why anyone is using Vista. It's so slow compared to XP. There have been tests and benchmarks proving this.

Vista is a CPU hog.

Some people dont have a choice. DELL for example wont install XP any more. At least from what I see. Officially Microsoft dont sell XP anymore and support isnt provided anymore.

Personlly I prefer XP , mainly because over 75% of the software I use will not work with VISTA.

I agree it is a memory hog. I have never seena computer properly work with VISTA unless it had a minimum of 2gb ram and 2ghz processor.

Yes it will install and run with less than this , but it is so slow

Uh... I don't have Vista and have no interest in upgrading until I absolutely have to. I stumbled upon this topic and I would like to ask:

1. Is there any difference between EX4 files compiled under XP vs. Vista?

2. Can I make an EX4 file on XP and give it to someone using Vista? Or must they be given an EX4 actually compiled on Vista in order to use it on Vista?

3. Are Vista EX4 files backwards compatible with XP MT4?

I hope the answers are "no difference" and "yes, an EX4 works on both", and "yes, backwards compatible"... but whatever the answers are I'd like to know.

Thanks in advance,
