Cannot run live update with Vista

Hi folks,

I'm hoping one of you guys can help me out with this issue.
Even since I switched to Windows Vista, I can't run Live Update for MT4.

Every time I open MT4 I get the Vista security message asking if I want to Cancel liveupdate.exe from running or to Allow.
I click Allow, but then nothing happens. Same thing happens if I try to run the exe file directly in the folder.
I have tried right-clicking to Run as Administrator but the same thing happens. I click Allow and then nothing.
And this is happening for 2 platforms. (both IBFX and NF)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Was MT4 on the PC before you upgraded, or is it a new install?

Try to right click on your MT4 shortcut and select "run as admin", then let the update run

LOL, Hi Tom, I had the same problem for a long time (Vista). Half an hour ago I logged into my IBFX web account and downloaded the latest build manually.

Was hoping it would force my daily charts to fix themselves. Sunday/Monday bars "changed" the other day and are all f'd up.

Hello,

I am also not able to get the live update on Vista running. Also not with "run as administrator".

Any help?

Thank you,

I had same problem...solution was to turn off the User Account Control (UAC) in Vista.
